Walking tour offered of historic Lakeside houses

LAKESIDE – The Lakeside Heritage Society is offering walking tours of 10 historical areas within Lakeside at 10:30 a.m. Friday.

There is a $5 per person fee to participate, with enrollment limited to 15 people.

Preregister at Heritage Hall Museum during open hours. On July 10, travel through time to learn about several guest houses that operated during the 1880s to 1930s.

Those include the Plymouth House, Richard’s Hotel, The Cook Tavern, Keystone Cottage, Park/McDonald House, Ogontz Cottage, Lakeview Cottage, Slack House, Blaine Cottage, Erie View Inn and Woodlawn Cottage.

While most of the historical guest houses are still standing, others are viewed only in photographs. Meet Gretchen Curtis at 10:30 a.m. at the Heritage Hall Museum, 238 Maple Ave.
