“The Local Colors of Character” February event free to the public

The Clinton Community College Cultural Committee, or C5, is collaborating with the Gateway History Club and City of Clinton to offer the next bus tour highlighting the community’s heritage.

The Local Colors of Character is the tour that the bus will go over, and it has its roots in the Underground Railroad. The tour is not just a list of famous names, but also a dive into the history and place you where it all happened.

Registration for the tour will open on Tuesday Feb. 3rd, with the tour itself taking place on Tuesday Feb. 24th.

The community bus tour is free and will be 9 – 11:30 a.m. starting at the Clinton Community College. The morning will begin with a 30-minute presentation in the CCC Auditorium, followed by the guided bus tour. Registration is available by walk-in or by calling the CCC Information Desk at 563-244-7001.

Additional community tours will be offered throughout the year, with registration opening three weeks prior to each tour date. Contact Clinton Community College at 563-244-7001 to reserve your seat on the bus. For more information, contact Mardell Mommsen Flippen at mmommsen@eicc.edu.
