By popular request, the August tour includes “Underground Cambridge”! Tours start at the building on the corner of N.7th Street & Wheeling Avenue (753 Wheeling Avenue). The tour is guided by a costume interpreter who leads the group from the underground to the top floor of this unique building. Local historian, Rick Booth will also present a powerpoint presentation including pictures and history of the National Road and downtown Cambridge.

The first project for 2016 is the replacement of the historical plaques which adorn the 33 buildings in the historic district that are included in a self-guided walking tour brochure. Advance registration is strongly encouraged; walk-ups are limited to space available.Forgotten Places & Spaces is a cooperative effort of Ohio-Made Getaways, Cambridge Main Street and the Historic Preservation Committee. #forgottenplacescambridge #livelovecambridge
