Walking Tour of Downtown Sidney in the 1960s

If you haven’t already purchased your tickets for our downtown walking tour, do so now! On April 7th beginning at 6:30 p.m., the Shelby County Historical Society will be holding a Walking Tour of Downtown Sidney in the 1960s.

Do you remember where the cool hangout spots were in the 1960s? Maybe you recall where you used to eat lunch or buy your clothes for school. Or perhaps you have always heard about the thriving downtown area in Sidney during this time and would like to know more. Join us for a tour to bring back wonderful memories, or to learn something new!

Our tour guides will lead you around the court square as they share stories from the 1960s, point out important places, and discuss how the store fronts may have changed.

Four tours will be held on the evening of April 7th, leaving within 15 minutes of each other. Tickets are required and must be purchased in advance. Tickets are on sale now for the price of $10 for an adult and $5 for a child. Each tour participant will receive a map of downtown businesses circa 1965.

Please join us for an evening of fun memories in the historic court square district! Please call the office at 498-1653 with any questions.
