Monroe Lake’s interpretive naturalist, Jill Vance, will offer a combination driving and walking tour through the former town of Elkinsville in Brown County on Monday, Nov. 16 at 1 p.m.
Due to Covid precautions, the tour will be limited to 10 people and all participants must drive themselves. Registration is required by Nov. 12 at bit.ly/elkinsvilletour2020. The tour fee is $10 per person.
Elkinsville was once a center of commerce and community for a remote part of Brown County. That all changed with the construction of Monroe reservoir. During this tour, participants will discover the history of this town, walk its former main street, and find out what happened to it after the lake went in.
Questions should be directed to Jill Vance at 812-837-9967 or [email protected].
Cost: $10 per person
