Hallowed Grounds Tours
Every semester, I conduct a select number of tours for classes, UA guests, and the general public. Typically, the scheduling process involves emailing with several potential dates, approximate size of the group and then coordinating a mutual time. I am unable to able to accommodate all requests due to teaching, research, service and professional scholarly responsibilities. For the Spring 2022 semester, I am completely booked for tours, except for the public tours.
For the public tours, reservations are not necessary. These events are free and open to the public. We depart from outside the Gorgas House historical marker. The tours run about 60-75 minutes.
Self-guided tours are available under the Hallowed Grounds tab. You will find a pdf. paper version of the 90 minute version, an Adobe Spark version on the 60 minute version, and a Google My Map of the 90 minute version.
