Heart of Ellsworth is hosting a historic walking tour of Ellsworth’s original commercial district. The tour is sponsored by First National Bank, The City of Ellsworth, Renewal by Anderson, the National Trust for Historic Preservation, and the Maine Historic Preservation Commission, in partnership with the Ellsworth Historical Society and Design Group Collaborative.

The walk will be led by Kleinfelder, the consultant hired by Heart of Ellsworth to prepare the downtown’s National Historic Register nomination. The walking tour is intended to provide public engagement about the historic value of buildings downtown for the nomination. 

On Thursday, September 18th, from 5:30-7:30pm, Kleinfelder will share their research by highlighting buildings on Main, Water, and State streets. The tour begins at 112 Main St, the location of Provender. Refreshments will be provided by Provender at the start of the tour. The event is rain or shine.
