Summer | Fall
Learn about the history of Broad Street, dating back to the 1700s, and its transformation in the 1960s, when Latinos began to settle, rebuild, and make La Broa' what it is today.
Barrio Tours run from April to September. We will be back next year.
College students / interns welcome to reach out to learn more about the Barrio Tours, and to contribute to future tours. Contact Marta V. Martinez if interested.
