A Walking Tour of Sacred Sites in the Old Commons Neighborhood will be held Saturday, May 17, 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. Sponsored by the Old Commons Neighborhood Association, the tour will open eight churches, a synagogue, and four historic churchyards to the public. Sacred music specific to each faith represented will be provided at four of the sites. A fish fry lunch will be served by members of the Sons of Beaufort Lodge #36, and its ca. 1880 meeting hall will be open for the tour.
