Summary of Pearl Street Tour:
"Pearl Street, once Boulder’s commercial artery, has become its cultural heart and soul," said Richard Foy, one of the designers of the Mall. Boulder began as a supply town for gold miners, and Pearl Street served as the main road from the plains to the mountains, as well as the city's commercial center for 100 years. It was established in the 1860s and is thought to be named after the wife of one of the city's founders. In 1977, the Pearl Street pedestrian mall was dedicated purely to foot traffic.

Stroll along with Historic Boulder former Board President Patrick O’Rourke as he points out important historic buildings, shares stories of past events, and explains how historic preservation contributes to the Mall’s success."
