Nakoma Historic Architecture Walking Tour

Madison Trust for Historic Preservation leads a walking tour of the pretty, stately Nakoma neighborhood, which features not just early 20th century homes but one of the oldest buildings still standing in Madison: the Old Spring Tavern. We’re willing to bet even history buffs will learn something…as well as getting in the day’s steps. Reservations are required, and the July 13 walk is already on wait list status, but the tour repeats Aug. 5 (10 a.m.) and Aug. 31 (6 p.m.). Find tickets and more info here.
