Douglas has a rich history as a storied western town. History enthusiasts can take advantage of three unique walking tours to explore the past!
Take a walking tour through a historic tree-lined neighborhood known as the North Douglas Historic District. The 18 historic residences you will encounter along the way relate to the 19th century pioneers who, out of an untamed wilderness, fashioned for themselves a tiny oasis of civilization.
The downtown Douglas buildings walking tour highlights 25 structures constructed between 1886 and 1926. The buildings represent a cross-section of early city business life in the era. The booklet includes the original building names and architects if known. Many names of the architects are lost to history.
In this 1-2 hour historic walk you will be delighted by a historical treasure trove awaiting your discovery. As you follow the tour through the stately wooded grounds, you will soon find yourself silently communing with that dazzling variety of characters who built the city of Douglas, and made the Old West.
