Join the Aullwood Garden staff and volunteer Sue Steinke as they guide you on a sightseeing tour through Dayton of historically significant sites to John and Marie Aull and their family.

Volunteers will meet Aullwood staff at the MetroParks Main Office parking lot at 9:00 am and will take a walking tour through Downtown Dayton.
