Bicentennial Historic Auto Tour May 31

The McMinnville Jaycees are presenting the Warren County Bicentennial Celebration Historic Auto Tour on May 31. The unique event features 18 historic places to visit between the hours of 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Jaycee members encourage everyone to pick up an informational pamphlet at either the Civic Center or the Chamber of Commerce for a list and description of the sites. There is no charge for the tour. Motorists are encouraged to go at their own pace, with sites marked with signs. Some locations will be open for admittance, and they are clearly marked, as well as manned by a Jaycee member. Directions are included in the pamphlet. ‘We are hoping to give everyone an opportunity to learn more about the history of our county, and to enjoy our many landmarks,’ said Jaycee secretary Brittani Freeze. Sites included on the tour include: Tom B. Clark House, Biles House, Black House, Courthouse, First Methodist, Magness Library, First Presbyterian, Edward Munford House, Joseph Daniel Walling House, Jesse Walling House, Stone-Pennebaker Home, Mt. Zion Methodist Church, Bascom Methodist Church, Old Philadelphia Church, Northcutt Plantation, Falcon Rest, Oakham and the Rock Miller House. Those open during the tour are Tom B. Clark House, Magness Library and First Presbyterian Church.
