Come and explore history in downtown Rochester on the Heritage Trail, a 1.25-mile long walking path that leads visitors to 15 points of historical significance. This self-guided tour follows an 8” wide line of either granite or blue paint on city sidewalks. Along the way visitors will find historical markers, plaques and interpretive signs telling some of the stories that make up Rochester’s rich history.
