The Village of Montgomery has a rich history that can still be seen today in its buildings, streets, landmarks, and public spaces. The Historic Montgomery Walking Tour offers residents and visitors an opportunity to explore the people, places, and events that helped shape our community.
The tour was created as an Eagle Scout project by Montgomery resident Frank Meyer of Troop 386. Frank researched the route using resources at the Village Library and Museum, with help from local historians, community members, and businesses.
