Rochester Under the Bridge: A WalkingTour

Join the Rochester-Avon Historical Society on Thursday, August 8 at 6:30 p.m. for a summer historical walking tour. Thousands of people drive over the South Hill Bridge into downtown Rochester every day. But did you know that almost immediately under the bridge exists remains of the failed 1830s Clinton-Kalamazoo Canal? That here once stood a paper mill that was burned down in the 1870s by a woman who claimed to be having “crazy spells?” That there is documented evidence that a local Ojibwe tribe once held mysterious ceremonial dances along the river near here? Hear these stories and more as we explore Rochester “under the bridge” with RAHS historical guide Chris Brown.
