In this easy walking tour, we will explore the history of transportation in the downtown Frederick area. Learn about Abraham Lincoln’s train visit and the importance of the railroad industry. We will stop by the exteriors of former sites that reflect the automobile industry and the trolley system and listen to stories about the locations. Then we'll head to Carroll Street and learn about its former railroad depot, fertilizer companies, grain warehouse and a prominent former bakery. Facts about local history will be pointed out as we stroll among the houses and buildings. This tour involves walking in downtown Frederick on mostly flat sidewalks for about 1.5 miles moving at a slow pace. Rain Date - 10/3
