Redmond Walking Tours 2023

Since 2003, Tom Hitzroth has led walking tours of Redmond’s historic district. Over the years, the tour has evolved from one hour to two, with the script changing as new information is discovered.

A lifelong Eastside resident, Hitzroth continues to work on identifying details of Redmond’s development from its earliest time the site of the settlement of Melrose that preceded Redmond, and the land claims of early Redmond. He is also studying the early building and development patterns of the historic downtown.
