About
What did Kitchener residents do for fun in the 'olden day'?
Certainly, many people 'strolled about the town', but there were many more exciting activities than walking!
On this tour, we'll explore the leisure activities enjoyed by Berlin/Kitchener citizens of yesteryear, beginning with Victoria Park’s features and buildings. We visit the location of a wholesome family activity, while also learning about a sordid scandal that was quietly buried. Learn about several downtown theatres that entertained patrons with plays, vaudeville, opera and later…moving pictures!
We'll end with a Depression-era fad that swept through Berlin. Do you know what it is?
