All Are Invited to Discover Historic Batavia Walk

If you’ve been curious about the Discover Historic Batavia signs you see popping up all over town, plan on attending the Discover Historic Batavia Walk, 2 p.m., Sunday, May 19.

The walk, led by Batavia Mayor Jeffery D. Schielke, begins at the Batavia Public Library entrance, 10 S. Batavia Ave. From there, the walk will proceed past a few of the signs in the downtown Batavia historic district, and conclude with refreshments at the Batavia Jeffery D. Schielke Government Center, 100 N. Island Ave. The walk is free and open to the public.
 
The Batavia Historical Society, in collaboration with the Batavia Park District’s Depot Museum, Batavia Public Library, and the City of Batavia, created the 10 plaques. The Discover Historic Batavia markers and accompanying website are funded through a grant from the Dunham Foundation. The project highlights significant events in the 189-year history of the City of Batavia.
