Let’s take a guided tour to learn about the history of the Grand River. The tour starts at 6pm sharp in the middle of the Blue Bridge, so arrive early for parking and to meet the group. We can grab dinner or drinks nearby afterwards, or you can join for the tour only.

The flowing river that divides Grand Rapids into east and west has been our region’s life-force since our earliest civilization, 2000 years ago.
It was revered by the Indigenous peoples. Everything man needed was provided by the river, including transportation. Only slightly later in history, our 19th century frontier settlement spread out on both banks of the river and beyond.
We’ll be moving south along the river to Wealthy Street, discussing Native American and early Grand Rapids city history.
