Walk Through Verona: A 250th Anniversary Historic Tour

As the nation marks its 250th birthday, the Township of Verona invites you to explore the people, places, and stories that shaped our community. This self-guided tour winds through nine of Verona's most meaningful landmarks—from the shoreline of Verona Park 🌳 to the towering walls of Kip's Castle 🏰—each one a window into the moments that built the town we know today.

Tap any stop to discover its history, see archival and present-day photos, and learn how Verona's past connects to the larger American story. Visit Annin Flag, a name woven into the country's history through generations of American flagmaking. Stand at White Rock, wander the grounds of the Verona Methodist Church and Bloomfield Avenue School, and trace the path from the Erie Freight Shed to Grove Street Park.

Walk the full route or pick the stops that interest you most—the tour is yours to explore at your own pace, on foot or from home. Whether you've lived in Verona your whole life or you're discovering it for the first time, this is your invitation to celebrate 250 years of American history, right here in our own backyard. 🎉

A special thank you to Robert L. Williams, author of Old Verona, for sharing his stories, and to the Verona Public Library for providing historical photographs.
