Old Roads, Tuberculosis and Murder Saturday at Museum - as well as old racing cars

Race cars at Shoreline Museum

The Shoreline Historical Museum will conduct a walking tour of the historic Hillwood - Richmond Highlands area on Saturday, June 14 as part of their Golden Wheels Day, which goes from 10:00am to 3:00pm.

Golden Wheels Racing Pathfinders will hold a One-Day Exhibit of Playland Race Cars and other Historic Vehicles on Saturday, June 14 from 1-3pm where you can see the vehicles and talk to the drivers and owners.

People should meet at the Museum at 1:00pm for the Walk. “The Hillwood History Walk and Brickwalk Talk” will cover the Firlands Way-to-Fremont Avenue-to-185th (or vice versa) part of historic Richmond Highlands and features Old Roads, Tuberculosis and Murder! 

The city renamed this neighborhood, but it is part of the original Richmond Highlands area.

Museum Director Vicki Stiles says that "Some people even have birth certificates that say they were born in Richmond Highlands – and they lived on Firlands Way."

The walk takes about an hour and 15 minutes. The route is generally flat, but with some tree roots and uneven pavement, on-street walking in several areas is not suitable for wheelchairs.

The Shoreline Historical Museum is located at the corner of N 185th and Linden Ave N, 18501 Linden Avenue North.
