The tour of Elmhurst begins by giving a brief history of the area, followed by a tour of the churches, and notable buildings and locations. Begin at Judge Street, Whitney Ave, up 43rd Avenue, head down Corona Avenue to Broadway. Tours usually present degrees of spontaneity whether during route or stopping points, which can be modified due to the feelings of those on tour. Elmhurst has the third oldest history in Queens, known for its place during the revolution, cemeteries, and businesses. Attendees can feel free to ask questions at any point, dress casually, and bring a bottle of water. Attendees are free to take as many pictures as they wish. They should complete tour with a thorough understanding of Elmhurst’s evolution, from a farming village, to a thriving densely populated community, and gain an understanding of its history.
