COLLINSVILLE CHAMBER PLANS HISTORIC 1950s WALKING TOUR

Collinsville, OK (March 26, 2018) – The Collinsville Chamber of Commerce is planning an historic walking tour of downtown Collinsville for Thursday, April 19. The tour will begin at 7:00 pm inside Herron’s Crown Opry Theater at 1015 W Main Street.

Tour attendees will be given a glimpse at life in Collinsville in the 1950s, when Collinsville was the hub of excitement for surrounding towns. The event will begin with a slideshow of photos/videos and short introduction to Collinsville history, then groups will head out in 15-minute intervals to walk the streets of downtown Collinsville. Guests will be treated to fun and interesting stories of the people and businesses that shaped our town. The evening will conclude with refreshments inside the Collinsville Chamber of Commerce office at 1126 W Main Street.
