Bike & Break for History

Back in "the day" there were imaginative plans for the city of Joliet. We'll start at the Joliet Area Historical Museum and ride through Joliet while learning about the background of historic buildings and a Burnham-esque dream known as "The Bennett Plan." Bring your bikes, helmets, water and dress for the weather! The tour is recommended for ages 12 and older.
