Summer 2014: Explore urban Anchorage with free neighborhood tours
by Michelle Saport |
Come explore urban Anchorage! Take walking and biking tours led by neighborhood residents to showcase and discover the great places that make our city. Join us and explore the history of a neighborhood, its important issues and help create the Anchorage Community Atlas.
Tours are free and open to the public and require registration. Please register online at www.uaa.alaska.edu/engage for one of only 20 spots for each tour. Additional information is available here.
Tours take place from 10 a.m.-noon and may end at a neighborhood eatery where you can choose to buy lunch and share your urban discoveries.* After, take our writing prompts to submit a neighborhood writing excerpt for the Anchorage Community Atlas.
July 19 - Fairview (walking tour) Aug. 16 - Mountain View (biking tour) Aug. 23 - Spenard (walking tour) Sept. 13 - Government Hill (walking tour)

*Children are welcome to attend with parental discretion for walking/biking ability in a group.
The Anchorage Neighborhood Tours are part of a Centennial project through an Anchorage Centennial Community Grant awarded by the Alaska Humanities Forum. To learn more, visit the CCEL website.
