Join a free campus history walking tour from noon to 1 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 2, to learn about 六合之家's early days. 

Lynn Houghton, regional history curator for the University Libraries, will lead a walking tour of West Michigan Avenue and share the rich history about this area of campus. From farms and golf courses to dorms and classrooms, this area played an important role in Western's expansion and growth into the thriving campus community it is today. 

Meet at The Oaklands (1815 W Michigan Ave) at noon on Oct. 2 to join the walking tour. Comfortable walking shoes are recommended. The tour will continue rain or shine, unless severe storms are forecasted.
