You are invited to join Main Street Delaware on June 1 for a First Friday peek into the past during the 2018 “Hidden Spaces” walking tour.
The self-guided tour will be held from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. and feature an opportunity to visit nearly a dozen unfinished and other downtown spaces rarely open to the public.
Tickets for “Hidden Spaces” are $10 per person, with children 10 and under admitted free. Tickets are available online at www.mainstreetdelaware.com or in person at The Greater Gouda, 12 N. Sandusky St. Tickets, wristbands, and maps also will be available after 5 p.m. on First Friday at the Main Street Delaware tent in front of PNC Bank, 40 N. Sandusky St.
All tour sites will be designated by balloons and hosted by Main Street Delaware volunteers able to share some of each location’s rich history. Proceeds from the evening will support Main Street Delaware’s efforts to preserve and promote the city’s historic downtown.
New this year, the Delaware County Historical Society will be joining in the First Friday fun by offering a free self-guided tour of downtown’s “ghost signs” – the old, hand-painted advertising signs still visible on several downtown buildings.
