• Available in two time lengths: 60-75 minutes and 75-90 minutes.
• Each student is given the Passport to the City of Lancaster, a specially-designed booklet that includes a map of the tour route and brief descriptions of each stop, complete with thought-provoking questions and fun scavenger-type activities.

The walking tour can be done on its own or combined with one of the Heritage Center's other educational programs. Brown-bag lunches can be eaten in between the programs at the Jasper Yeates House.

"Excellent program! The passports are the key. My students were so eager to find things at each stop."
