Event Overview
What if the streets you walk every day could tell their stories?
Join us on Wednesday, January 21 for the next installment of Friar Tuck’s Historical Series, as historian, author, and walking-tour creator Lisa Redfern invites us to see familiar places in an entirely new way.
Lisa’s work uncovers the layers of history hidden in plain sight — from forgotten neighborhoods and cultural crossroads to overlooked details that quietly shaped our communities. Through her acclaimed walking and hiking history tours, she brings the past into the present, connecting people to the stories beneath their feet.
This evening’s talk will explore how walking tours transform history from something we read about into something we experience — revealing how movement, place, and storytelling work together to deepen our understanding of where we live.
Settle in with a cocktail, enjoy light bites, and prepare to leave seeing Nevada County with fresh eyes.
