Past event
Jul 29, 2023, 10 AM to 3 PM

Preservation Burlington is offering two tours during the ONE Ramble this Saturday, July 29th, as well as hosting a booth at the ONE World Marketplace. Please join at us!

ONE Neighborhood Walking Tour: 10-11 am (meet at the The William Wells Statue in Battery Park)

The Old North End is one of the oldest sections of Burlington and we want to share its history with you! Preservation Burlington is leading a walking tour of the Old North End during The Ramble to give a closer look at how the area has changed over time. From Civil War heroes to award-winning firefighting companies, come walk and learn more about the people who made the Old North End what it is today!

Elmwood Cemetery Tour: 2-3 pm
(Meet at gate on Elmwood Ave)

Join us on Saturday for a walking tour of Elmwood Cemetery, Burlington's second oldest burial ground, in the heart of the Old North End. Some of the burials there date back as far as 1790, and it is said to have been established as the final resting place of the little known, but incredibly interesting Allen brother, Levi, a bankrupt who town fathers buried in a new cemetery since his family did not wish to pay his bills!

The tours are open to all; suggested donation is $10. All proceeds will go to Preservation Burlington's education and advocacy efforts.

We will also have a booth at the ONE Marketplace from 11-3 at The Ramble, please stop by and say hello! Merch available (totes & hoodies).
