The summer series of Historic Athens Heritage Walks is ending with a special tour through the city to celebrate Pride Month. History enthusiast and Historic Athens Welcome Center staff member Rin Gunn will be leading a walk through meaningful locations for the queer community, exploring the people and places that have shaped it and adding personal insights. The two-mile tour will include stops like Memorial Hall, where the first openly gay dance in the Southeast was held in 1972. The walk will highlight resilience, joy and activism through the years in Athens and the community spaces that help the queer population continue to thrive today. If you can’t make it to this walk, Gunn will also be hosting them every Saturday and Sunday in June through the Athens Welcome Center, with $5 from every ticket supporting the Athens Pride + Queer Collective.
