Guided Tours Explore History of Downtown Jordan Creek

 Discover the history of Jordan Creek, a graffiti-covered, urban stream that runs below downtown Springfield in our guided tours at 2-3 p.m. and 5:30-6:30 p.m. Friday, July 29. For adults age 18 and older only.

Led by the Watershed Committee of the Ozarks, the guided tours will explore the history of waterways within Springfield and reflect on how our actions impact their future.

Tours meet at the west end of the parking lot at 319 N. Main Ave. and require the ability to climb in and out of the creek using a stepladder. You will also be underground and wading in shallow water (6-12 inches), so bring a flashlight and close-toed shoes (preferably waterproof). Each tour limited to 20 participants. Registration starts July 15; call 417-616-0683.
