The 90-minute tour takes participants on a trip back in time to Kerrytown, one of Ann Arbor's oldest neighborhoods.

Here's the description from the tour website:

"Follow the stories of Ann Arbor's second generation of residents and immigrants as they transform their young settlement into a bustling, thriving town. Walk with Building Matters Ann Arbor through a part of the Kerrytown neighborhood to discover how the buildings and styles in which they lived, worked, served, and prayed evolved along with themselves."

Tickets for the tour cost $25 per person. Children 12 and under are free.
