Join Tom Lonnberg and Terry Hughes as they lead a walking discussion of how Main Street looked in the 1960s. Starting at the intersection of Riverside Drive and Main Street, the tour will walk seven blocks to Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and will return via Sycamore Street.

Bring your memories and help us recreate Main Street in the 1960s--a time when it was a four-lane thoroughfare with many retail stores. If you weren't in Evansville during the 1960s, come and hear about a time before Main Street was separated from North Main by the Civic Center
and prior to the era of the Walkway.

Terry Hughes is a retired educator from the EVSC. In retirement, he serves as President of the Vanderburgh County Historical Society. He is also on the Board of Directors of the Southwestern Indiana Historical Society.

The tour is free and open to the public and is presented in partnership with the Vanderburgh County Historical Society.
