Come and hear all about the Klondike Gold Rush. Ruth Kerr, of the Klondike Gold Rush International Historical Park, Seattle, will cover the 2-year period, starting in 1897, of the gold rush and this area’s involvement.

Old Redmond Historic Walking Tours Return. If you live in Redmond, you probably drive along Leary Way daily. But do you know the histories of our oldest buildings? Like, which one was both an undertaker's premises and a bordello? Tom Hitzroth will educate and entertain folks with walking tours that explore those histories.

This year’s dates are April 20, May 18, June 22, and September 21, 2008. Tours run from 1:00 to 2:30 p.m., and walkers meet on the front steps of the Justice White House, 7730 Leary Way. A tour will not be held if it rains.

An $8 fee helps fund Society research. Pre-registration is required. To register, e-mail Tom at thitzroth@msn.com or phone the Redmond Historical Society office at 425-885-2919.
