LEWISTON — Registration is open for the Franco Trail L-A bus tour test run, which will take place starting at 9 a.m. Friday, May 24.
The bus will stop at historic locations and sites that reflect the area’s French heritage and also weave its way through the streets of Lewiston and Auburn as riders learn local history with their own personal tour guide.
At least 18 locations have been identified and included as part of the all-day tour. The normal cost of the tour would be $75, but this opportunity at $36 includes all stops and attractions as well as two meals and a show at the Gendron Franco Center in Lewiston.
Participants can ride in the comfort of a trolley bus provided by Northeast Charter Tours. A tour guide will be on the bus to point out local attractions and provide more information at the tour stops. Part of the tour will include a short walking tour across the Androscoggin River and through city parks.
Reservations and payment are required ahead of time. Take advantage of this single opportunity to see the attractions of Lewiston and Auburn while being chauffeured and seated in comfort. Let someone else do the driving and parking.
To be one of the first to test the Franco Trail L-A bus tour, or for more information, call Museum L-A at 207-333-3881 and for a full itinerary go to www.museumla.org. Payment can be made over the phone or by stopping at the museum. The tour starts at 9 a.m. at the Franco American Collection USM-LA campus and is expected to end by 7:30 p.m. after the dinner show.
Museum L-A is in the Bates Mill Complex at 35 Canal St. Its hours of operation are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Friday 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday.
