Downtown Kennett Square will be a hopping place the evening of Thursday, June 18. The borough's historical commission is sponsoring a tour called "Freedmen, Fugitives and Friends" as part of Chester County's annual Town Tours & Village Walks program.
Volunteer guides (including yours truly) will escort visitors through the downtown area "to see the houses and hear the stories of Kennett Square Quakers and African Americans who co-existed peacefully before and after the Civil War." The tours will run from 5:30 to 7 p.m. and will start at the parking lot at Willow and State Streets.
That same evening is the borough's monthly "Third Thursday" celebration, so State Street will be closed to traffic from Broad to Center Streets. The event will include outdoor dining, a beer garden, live music, a magician and kids' activities. There will be free parking in the parking garage after 5 p.m.
