Downtown Lorain Walking Tour
We have two walking tours that focus on Downtown Lorain and the Lorian Tornado. If you choose to learn about Lorain's past businesses and architecture you may find the Downtown Historic Walking tour to be quite fascinating! If you'd like to learn about one of the events that shaped Lorain's history you may be interested in learning about the path of the Lorain Tornado. Our historians provided the tour through izi.Travel.com to provide you with the most important facts about our beloved Downtown and lakefront area. By visiting the site you can access it on your smartphone and follow along with or without audio to learn about Lorain!
