FAQ -
What do I need to do to add my house to the list?
Simply create a poster board, or a handout with any information that you'd like to share about your home and its history. Do you have any stories about it? Was there someone interesting that lived in the house? Is there a unique characteristic about the house that you'd like to share? You'll add any information that you'd like to share to the poster board or print out and set it out on the date of the tour. Need help? Contact Carolyn and she can help!
Will anyone be coming into my house?
No. The poster boards or fliers will be within your front yard, or on a table that you place there. Bonus points if you sit outside and greet neighbors to talk about your home or garden. It's a great way to meet your neighbors!
Do I need to be home or present anything?
You do not need to be home but you may get bonus points if you sit outside and greet neighbors to talk about your home or garden. It's a great way to meet your neighbors!
What if I don't know the history of my house yet? Can I participate?

Introduction
Lincoln Street/Broadway Walking Tour
Route: 1.5 Miles
Thank you for joining us today as we take a journey through time and talk about the Town of South Denver (Not to be confused with Denver), and the rise of a small little town that had a big impact on Denver as a whole. Along the way I'll be showing you photos of places that once were, and some places that are still here. The pamphlets have links and locations of some of the images in them so if you’d like a better look you can go online and see the beautiful images.
