Main & Hayne Street Historical Walking tour

Your tour will begin with long time resident Dale Loberger at Alice Jules Coffeehouse by viewing some old photos of downtown Monroe. Next we will start our walk outside and will first pass by the oldest identifiable residential home still standing.Next, we will turn up "Lafayette Street" (which is now called Main Street) revealing the stories behind the buildings still standing and what is now missing. As we cross over to Hayne Street through Morgan Alley, we will discuss more of the businesses that helped shape Monroe and beyond. Along Hayne Street, we will walk past the residences of important people to our city and reveal details of how Monroe developed.
Finally, we may have the opportunity to briefly visit the first floor of the Belk mansion and learn about their family and ourselves. Please join us for this fun evening of walking and learning about our beautiful town and history.
Proceeds benefit the restoration of the Belk Mansion & our fabulous tour guide who has a wealth of historical knowledge about Monroe.
