Historic Walking Tour
The Town of Bel Air is proud to offer a glimpse into its rich history through the Historic Walking Tour. This self-guided tour invites residents and visitors to explore the town’s architectural heritage by visiting some of Bel Air’s most significant historic locations.
The tour features scenic 45-minute (1.8 miles) and 60-minute (2.3 miles) walks, showcasing beautifully preserved residences and buildings, each with its own unique story. Along the way, participants will learn about the Town’s development, notable residents, and architectural styles that define Bel Air’s charm. Whether walking in person or exploring virtually, the Historic Walking Tour is a wonderful way to connect with the Town of Bel Air’s past.
