The free interactive tour will proceed by shuttle to Market Square; it will then journey to the waterfront by foot to various sites important to the coaling industry; and it will end at Fort Christian. Transportation will be available to take participants back to WICO in Havensight Mall, according to a press release from Dollar fo’ Dollar.
