Columbus Landmarks invites you to join us for a pleasant walk through historic neighborhood "villages" of Columbus. These guided tours last about two hours and cover one to two miles along architecturally interesting and historically significant streets and spaces.

Why does the neighborhood architecture behind one side of North High Street look so different from the architecture on the other side? How did Italian Village come to have its distinct architecture and was it influenced by Italians? Developed early by a variety of ethnic groups, heavily influenced by its adjacent industrial neighbors, and held together by an active community, Italian Village’s interesting heritage and architecture is revealed by an expert.  You have seen the WOSU documentary on the Short North, now experience the neighborhood. Meet at the Union Station mural on the east side of North High, just north of the “Cap.”
