Visit the Old Settlers Cemetery, where you’ll find the graves of American Revolutionary War heroes, and the predecessors of US Presidents. See where the original Branch Mint was and where it was later moved, brick by painstaking brick.

Discover several churches, including both St. Peter’s Catholic Church and St Peter’s Episcopal Church, and the former First Baptist Church, which is now the McGlohon Theater. Along the way, pass the building where a dozen businessmen leaped to their deaths, the Dunhill Hotel.
