Beyond Downtown: The EDGE and More – Walking Tour w/Monica Kile

December 16, 2023 @ 10:00 am - 11:30 am

Experience the history of the EDGE District, Historic Gas Plant District, and Methodist Town and learn why this history matters today.

This in-depth tour delves further into St. Pete’s past by visiting parts of the city that many people have never seen: the Edge District, the Gas Plant, and Methodist Town.

Once the hub of St. Pete’s industrial life, the Edge is now an eclectic mix of historic spaces and modern amenities, bordered on either side by historically African-American neighborhoods that also offered a refuge for some of St. Pete’s Jewish merchants during periods of anti-semitism. We’ll visit the remaining buildings and lost landmarks of these constantly changing neighborhoods.

PERFECT FOR: Tourists + Locals looking for a deeper dive into the city’s beginnings, African-American history, and Jewish history. 

THE DETAILS: Rotating Saturday afternoons • 1.5 hours • 1.5 miles
