Walking history tour of Main Street offered

The children’s wading pool in Klamath Falls will be among the topics discussed in a walking history tour of Main Street on Saturday, Sept. 9.

KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. - A walking history tour of a section of Main Street east of the railroad underpass in Klamath Falls will be offered by the Klamath County Museum at 9 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 9.

The free walk will begin at the museum at 1451 Main Street, and proceed east to Crater Lake Parkway.

“This is a section of Main Street that doesn’t usually get much attention, but it has a lot of interesting history,” said Todd Kepple, museum director for Klamath County. “We’ll point out the location of an early athletic club, the Soule Sanitarium and, of course, the old A&W Restaurant.”

The walk will cover less than half a mile and last about an hour. For more information contact the museum at (541) 882-1000.
