WALKING TOUR OF GOSHEN HISTORIC TRACK

What do the grandstand at Goshen Historic Track and Yosemite National Park have in common? Who were the two Goshen teenage girls that helped convince a president to visit the races? What Goshen-trained champion disappeared in the chaos at the end of World War II?

Find out the answers to these questions and more on a walking tour of the track, to be held on Saturday and Sunday, July 6 and 7.

The tours, which cover about a quarter-mile and 45 minutes, start 15 minutes after the races each day. Post time is 1 p.m.

There is an option for an additional quarter-mile and approximately 15 minutes at the end of the tour.

All ages are welcome.

There is no charge, but donations to Historic Track are welcome in lieu of a fee.
