Walking Tour of Downtown Powell


W. Olentangy St. on a Beautiful Summer Evening

Description:

It was a beautiful evening for a walk around the central area of downtown Powell. The tour was full and the participants enjoyed Sherry's presentation and had questions and anecdotes or their own. If you missed the July tour, there is another one in August. If you're looking at this later, watch for our walking tours every summer.
