Historical Tours

Step Into Clear Lake’s Past

Strap on those walking shoes and take a stroll into the past. The Historical Society is updating walking tours of century homes and downtown businesses which will take you by architectural gems of the early days. You’ll be walking the same streets people used in the 1800’s. It’s not a stretch to envision the horses and buggies carrying citizens all decked out in their finery.
