UC Bicentennial press release
Those interested in Union County history are invited to sign up for one or both of two free tours. Reservations are required. The tours are Wednesday, June 30 and Friday, July 2.
The Wednesday tour features drives throughout county townships looking at key historic properties, along with others that are of interest. The tour includes walking around on, or drive-bys, of several properties to include homes, barns, farms, flower and vegetable gardens. The Friday tour consists of an architectural lecture and drive around the town of Liberty.
The Wednesday township tour leaves promptly at 9 a.m. June 30 on buses provided by the Union County Transit, driven by volunteer transit drivers. Meet and park at Union County Middle School, 448 Ind. 44, Liberty. Arrive by 8:50 a.m. to retain your seat on the bus. Those not boarded by 8:50 a.m. may lose their spot to walk-ons.
Buses return to the courthouse square between 11-11:30 a.m. where guests will be on their own for lunch. Guests return to their buses at the courthouse to resume the afternoon tour. Buses leave promptly at 1 p.m. Buses will return to the middle school at about 3 p.m.
Bicentennial-committee volunteers will provide information during the tour, as well as distribute packets to tour guests as keepsakes.
A separate event is at 9 a.m. Friday, July 2 where Union County High School graduate and architect Steve Sharp will speak about architecture. Then, buses will transport guests around Liberty only on a bicentennial architectural tour.
While the township and Liberty tours are free, as is the lecture, advance reservations are required and will be taken until spaces are filled. To reserve your spot, call either Nancy Huntington at 765-458-5890 or Howie Huntington at 847-668-3808. No messages nor texts will be accepted. Reservations require speaking to either Nancy or Howie directly. Anyone interested may also call either of them for general information. Once a reservation is made, packets with instructions and tickets will be mailed.
