Your Neighborhood's Rich History On Display

David Goss is a bit of a local legend--and 2012 marks the 35th year the Saint John author and historian has been educating the masses about the Port City's history. Goss tells CHSJ News people enjoy his tours of sites like Martello Tower, the uptown area, and Fernhill Cemetery because they hit close to home. Goss says people often share stories he hasn't previously heard, even after 35 years of researching local history.

The walks are all free, with the exception of the popular Fernhill Cemetery tour, and happen every Tuesday. 

The next walk happens June 19th from 7-8:30pm at Wolastaq Park, Lancaster Avenue, West. Meet up at the Wolastaq Park Statue Adventures. 

Goss describes it as follows "Learn about the varied Albert Deveau statues of leading men and women of the area via a scavenger hunt, some games ,puzzles, etc.  Also the story of the Reversing Falls Ug Wug will be told. Bring a mug for hot chocolate. Free."
