This Walking Tour was originally published as a pamphlet for the Provincial LACAC Conference, June 1990

Revised by the author, July 1995

As it is unlikely that you will be able to take this version along with you, you will have to "hyperwalk" the streets of Guelph. You will still be able to relate to the city topographically, matching history to the city plan, finding the old underneath the new.

Locate yourself and navigate your walk with the Walking Tour Map. Those with Netscape 2.01 can click on the indicated map locations to go from spot to spot. Others will have to use the text links in the site menu at the bottom of tour map page.
