An alternative to cancelled lecture(s)
WHA lectures are postponed during the current coronavirus pandemic. We are offering our members an alternative activity which relates to local history and architecture. Each week we will provide the text of a past walking tour. We'll begin with one for GreeneAvenue. If you notice changes that have taken place since the tours were written, we'd appreciate your feedback. Enjoy the warmer weather and keep well. And if you are not a member but would like to do our self-guided tours, you can join the WHA online by scrolling to the bottom of this page and clicking on the JOIN box.
