MORDEN WALKS
"Story of the Stones" Tour
This tour was part of the 2008 Cultural Capital of Canada - Chautauqua Spirit Project. It was a guided walking tour with a special added twist that took place on June 7th, 2008. Local actors in period costume provided a five minute introduction to each building, noting the history and architectural significance. The tour began at the Pembina Hills Arts Centre and continued on to three other heritage properties.
You can now go on your own self guided walk and listen to the audio recording of the original tour. Either visit the Morden Library for a copy of the CD and take the tour using a CD player OR click on the link above and listen to it online OR download the tracks to your Ipod.
