Join architectural historian Dr. Christopher Wilson on a limited-seating trolley tour of educational buildings commissioned by Philip Hiss between 1954-1964. The intention of the tour is to demonstrate the range of Hiss’ contributions to the Sarasota County Schools Program, realizing his vision of creating exceptional learning environments through good design. Each tour limited to 30 guests.

Includes Boxed Lunch

Please note: some schools have been severely altered or completely demolished.  In those cases, Dr. Wilson will provide historic photographs and drawings to bring the structures to life.
