EVENTS – Step Back in Time: Historic Walking Tour of South China Village
The China Historical Society invites the community to explore the rich history of downtown South China during a special walking tour this Sunday, June 22nd, at 5:00 p.m. Participants will meet in the South China Community Church parking lot, located across from the old South China Library, for an engaging journey through the village’s past.
Local historians Barbara Poulin, Neil Farrington, and Joann Austin – all longtime South China residents – will serve as guides, sharing fascinating stories about the historic places that once defined downtown South China during their childhoods and earlier eras. The Historical Society will provide handouts containing valuable historical information about South China Village, offering attendees a lasting reference of the area’s heritage.
The tour, lasting approximately one hour, will feature an open discussion format where participants are encouraged to ask questions and share their own memories of the community. All are welcome to attend this free event. Those interested can find more information and sign up through the Facebook event posted on the China Historical Society’s Facebook page. Come discover the stories that shaped South China Village and connect with fellow community members who share a passion for local history!
