ACHD Walking History is Back! Adding Three Bicycle Tours!
Audrain County Health Department is excited to begin a second year of History Takes a Walk. This year we are adding three bicycle tours!
The City of Mexico, Missouri, offers so much history that it often goes unnoticed. Most know we are known for two things: Saddlebred hourses and firebrick. But did you know we are also where the Warm Morning Stove was invented? And we are the adopted home and burial grounds of the Hangin’ Judge of Andersonville, a feared and infamous Civil War prisoner camp judge?
Each Month from April to Octover, the Audrain County Health Department will offer predetermined routes where residents can walk and learn about Mexico’s history. Each tour will feature a guide pointing out certain historical building, places, and event locations across the vibrant Audrain County community. It’s an opportunity to exercise your mind and body as you learn about the community.
Each walking tour will be one and a half miles long and take approximately an hour and a half to complete. They will also feature a trail car to assist those needing help during the walk.
The 6-6 ½ Mile Bicycle tours will feature the Parks, Schools and Doors of Mexico. Tours will be May, July & September. Participants need to be 18 or older and sign a waiver to participate. More information to come.
More details on specific and dates will be forthcoming. Please plan to join us!
