Downtown Northbank walking tour

Hogan Street.

Our tours in 2020 were so well received that we’ll be offering more of the urban core throughout 2021. Join The Jaxson for a guided walking tour of the historic Downtown Northbank on Saturday, January 23.

JEA Corporate Headquarters construction site.

Join The Jaxson’s Bill Delaney, Ennis Davis and Mike Field for a 1.5-2 hour guided tour of Jacksonville’s Downtown National Register Historic District. With a history dating back even before the founding of the city in 1822, the Northbank has undergone continuous change over the centuries. On this tour, we’ll cover some of the city’s most noteworthy historic sites, current developments shaping the city today, and some adaptive reuse projects giving new life to our historic buildings. Hear Jacksonville history as only The Jaxson can tell it.
