We proudly offer free walking tours of Historic Downtown Gresham to school groups. This immersive experience gets students engaged with East Metro's diverse history and culture, showing how the past is still visible in the present if you know how to look for it. Our walking tour is designed to incorporate State of Oregon social studies standards and is adjustable to any grade level.
Tours last about one hour. Nearby amenities include Main City Park, which includes a playground and picnic shelter, and the Gresham Library, which also offers programming for school groups.
We require at least one month's notice to ensure the availability of our tour guides. Get in touch to schedule your visit.
We offer private tours for non-school groups for a requested donation of $10 per person (10 person minimum). Cemetery Tours explore the three historic cemeteries behind West Gresham Elementary. You'll learn about the colorful lives and deaths of the early residents buried there. Historic Downtown Tours take a loop through Old Gresham, looking at historic buildings and other landmarks.
