MOBILE TOURS

Pre-Conference Mobile Tour 1 - A View from the Maumee River | Wednesday, April 22 | 9:00am - 11:30am
Discover how Toledo is revitalizing neighborhoods along the Maumee River on the inaugural trip of the historic Sandpiper cruise ship in 2026. Attendees will experience the largest mural in the United States, explore two stunning Metroparks, and see key downtown Toledo landmarks that highlight the resurgence of this critical front door to our community. Don’t miss your chance to see Toledo from one of its most unique vantage points!
Mobile Tour 2 - Welcome to Toledo! | Wednesday, April 22 | 1:00pm - 3:15pm​
Toledo is one of Ohio’s great cities, and if you’ve always wanted to learn more, this mobile tour is for you. Experience some of the best our community has to offer, including a historic home tour near the world-famous Toledo Museum of Art, the stunning Spanish-style Rosary Cathedral in the heart of the Old West End, the quiet beauty and the thrill of the game on the campus of The University of Toledo, and delicious Latin cuisine at the Sofia Quintero Arts & Cultural Center in the Old South End.
Mobile Tour 3 - Transforming Neighborhoods | Thursday, April 23 | 9:00am - 11:30am​
For fifteen years, the Lucas County Land Bank has demonstrated that change is not top-down. Change is made with residents, rooted in trust, and visible block by block. Attendees on this tour will see the fruits of this work at an urban farming site, at vacant lots that are now beautiful spaces, at homes made healthy through renovation efforts, and at the highest point in Toledo, a former church now being rebuilt as a multi-purpose community center.
Mobile Tour 4 - Downtown Development | Thursday, April 23 | 1:00pm - 3:30pm​
This walking tour of downtown Toledo will offer attendees the chance to see the evolution of a central business district into a dynamic residential and entertainment district over the past twenty years. The tour will start at the iconic Fifth Third Field, home to the Toledo Mud Hens minor league baseball team and continue to building transformations like the Pythian Castle and Burt’s Theater, made famous by the lyrics of Kenny Rogers. The tour will also feature the Lucas County Land Bank’s dual skyscraper revitalization at the Four Corners, before wrapping up at Promenade Park, the hottest destination for concerts and gatherings on the Maumee River. 

​Please Note: Attendees should be prepared to walk about 1.5 miles.
