This summer OMAH’s popular guided downtown walking tour returns. Gangs, Guns and Grog is themed around Orillia in the 1870s, a time in which there was a licensed pub for every 150 citizens and it was legal to carry a loaded and concealed firearm. 1870s Orillia was chaos, and we are so excited to tell you all about it every Wednesday night! Tours will depart from OMAH at 7pm and finish at The Hog N’ Penny at 8:30pm where a flight is included in your ticket price. Please wear appropriate footwear to walk in. This program begins on Wednesday July 6, and will run every Wednesday until the end of August. Book now as space is limited! You won’t want to miss out on this fantastic date night opportunity, or an evening out with friends.
$25 per person ($20 for members).
This tour is for ages 19+ as alcohol is included. Tickets must be booked at least 24 hours in advance.
