Historic Downtown Walking Tour
Historic Downtown Walking Tour
Our summer historic tours will continue, but with limitations on group sizes and measures in place to ensure social distancing. Advanced registration is required for these popular programs.
Learn how the agricultural boom, coming of the railroad, and other factors shaped commercial and retail economy
in downtown Longmont. Hear about the Dickens Opera House, JC Penney’s first store, and the longest continuous
business in the City. Longmont Museum Curator of History Erik Mason will tell you about Mid-Century Modernism, the fire of 1879, the State Historic Fund, and the Downtown Creative District.
