Book A Tour
One mile, docent-led interactive educational experience in downtown Asheville, North Carolina. Our historical walking tour weaves together oral histories from Blue Ridge Pride LGBTQIA+ Archive to narrate five stops about queer history. Each stop features a short video, and the tour takes approximately 1.5 hours to complete.
Tour guests are encouraged to bring their own headphones and a device that can connect to the internet. These materials can be provided, but note that with your tour registration.
Once you select a ticket cost, your payment will be processed and you’ll receive an email to confirm the tour date and time.
