Stops and points of interest include Coconut Grove’s Bahamian enclave, the Segregation Wall, Charlotte Jane Memorial Cemetery, Fort Dallas, Liberty Square, the Arthur McDuffie Historic Marker and the Black Police Precinct and Courthouse Museum. In Historic Overtown, the route highlights sites including the Dana Dorsey House, Ward Rooming House and Lyric Theater. Motor coach transportation and guided commentary are included. Advance reservations are required, with ticket sales closing three days before departure.
