Avery-Helm Historic District Tour

Join Joel for a tour of the Avery-Helm Historic District. The Avery-Helm neighborhood is part of the Joseph C. Avery land claim filed in 1845. It includes 9 full blocks, and ten partial blocks laid out on a grid system. The historic houses remaining in the district present a window into the domestic aspects of the city's development from 1870 to 1949.

  • Meeting Location: Corner of 2nd Street and Western Blvd.
  • Free parking located one block south at 2nd Street & B Avenue
