Aurora History & Antiques Walk
About this event
The Aurora Colony (1856-1883) was founded as a utopian community and has aged well. The core is made up of houses and other buildings from that era--many now full of antiques and vintage items. We will start at the museum ($8/$6 seniors) with a short film and a look at some of the exhibits. We'll then do the self-guided "Walk with Emma" tour of this part of town. After lunch at the White Rabbit Bakery you'll have an hour or so to look around (shop:-) on your own. Limit 8. Please sign up by March 10 (no texts).
