The walk will be led by George Luck, Jr. once again demonstrating his deep knowledge of Kingston history. He will point out some of its past businesses, telling about their owners and history.

Please join us as we walk along Main Street (once a King’s Highway) to the Kingston Lock area.

Come and learn the history of Kingston’s businesses, and the impact they have made in the community from the days of stage coaches, canal, Lincoln Highway and today. Rides will be provided for those not wishing to walk back to the Kingston Presbyterian Church parking lot.
