Historic Jamesville Walking Tour

On Wednesday, February 23, the Art Gallery of Hamilton Mini-tour committee presents a Walking Tour of Hamilton's Historic Jamesville. Jamesville refers to the multi-cultural district of James Street North in downtown Hamilton. There will be special stops at LIUNA Station and Christ's Church Cathedral. The event will conclude with lunch at Acclamation Bar and Grill, one of the many fabulous eateries and cafes that line this vibrant street.

If you haven't been to this part of Hamilton in a while, you will be pleasantly surprised at the abundance of new galleries, shops and dining establishments that have sprung up in recent years. And of course, there are several old favourites that have anchored this district for many years. This promises to be a wonderful event.
