Terrace Park Walking Tour

(Acrobat Reader is required)

 

Terrace Park has a rich history dating back to 1800, and much of that history is reflected in the buildings in the Village.  This tour was initially intended to be a walking tour, but the distances became too great for a short walk.  Therefore, it has been broken into several shorter segments which are realistically viewed by driving around the Village.

 

Below is a list of the properties visited along the tour and a series of maps which guide you along the tour route.
