The walking tour is a great way to stretch your legs while taking in the sights that beautiful Coeur d'Alene has to offer. However, the historical element these tours bring to the bustling city makes it a truly unique experience you're bound to remember.
The tours are led by Robert Singletary, the in-resident historian and Program Director for the museum. Singletary is known for going above and beyond on this awesome experience by embodying historic characters like Steamboat Captain Peter Sorensen or Fort Sherman General William Carlin.
