In 1989, a small group walking tour of the downtown area began being led by highly knowledgeable volunteer docents. These Saturday tours focused on architectural styles, significant and historic buildings, aesthetics, past and present building usage, and landscape history. To this day, tours are available every Saturday and Sunday at 10 am led by our dedicated and knowledgeable group of volunteer docents. Join us for a weekend tour or ask about how to become a tour docent yourself!Reservations are recommended as a courtesy to our docents. Reserve online at afsb.org.
