Plan ahead and sign up for a historic walking tour of Hokendauqua on Saturday, April 25, with our friends at Whitehall Historical Preservation Society.

The village of Hokendauqua was established in 1854 to house the workers of the Thomas Iron Company, which played a pivotal role in igniting the American industrial revolution. Stroll through the neighborhood, see the workers' housing and learn which homes were once occupied by the Thomas Family. Find out what other businesses were operating at that time. What connection did the Thomas Iron Company have with the First Presbyterian Church and the building currently occupied by Growing Tree Child Care Center?
