St. George Historic District Walking Tours

The Washington County Historical Society is offering five walking tours of the St. George Historic District during the month of October and the first week of November and one tour of the pioneer section of the St. George City Cemetery in mid November. All six tours are free and open to the public. Participants on each of the walking tours in the Historic District will gain insights into how these early pioneers lived and how they were able to build such fine homes and public buildings while living in a mostly barter-based economy and learn how they died. On the cemetery tour, participants will learn about the life stories of notable or everyday people buried on the grounds, and past cultural traditions, according to Loren Webb, Washington County Historical Society walking tour coordinator.
