Sunday, Oct. 7 - Historic Bike Tour - will queue up at New York Chiropractic College on Division Avenue for a bicycle tour of Levittown and its historic sites. (Yes, Levittown is full of history and our ride includes 7 or 8 sites on each side of town!) Queue is at 12:30 p.m. and the ride will begin at 1 p.m. There are two tours to choose from - the south side of Levittown or the north side. Each route is less than three miles and they move at an easy pace, so children can also ride. The 8th Precinct has been notified and will control traffic. Volunteer docents will be at each spot explaining the historic significance of the spot. For those taking the south side ride, the last stop will be the Levittown History Museum, which will be opened for visitors that day.

Depending on the number of riders that show up, they may have several groups going out. If interested in riding, being a docent or for more information, call Frank McKenna at 731-2211 or email fjmckiii@aol.com.
