May 27, 1pm and 3pm – Where in Bozeman! A Walking Tour of Unique and Hidden Architectural Gems. Every day people walk by features in downtown Bozeman without noticing them, visual white noise that doesn’t get even a second glance. Yet these things can tell us something about the history of where we live, things worth remembering, and maybe even saving. Join Where in Bozeman authors Susan Anderegg and Paul Stouffer on a walk around downtown as they point out many of the unique, hidden features highlighted in their book, while sharing the stories and historical significance behind them. You might be surprised and have some fun discovering new things, while gaining an appreciation for what is around us every day and what it might teach us about this great place. Each tour participant will also receive a copy of the book (for an additional charge) containing Susan’s rich, detailed photography accompanied by Paul’s written narrative. For tickets click here for 1pm tour and here for 3pm tour.
