Four people. One mile. Sixty minutes that will change the way you see Corvallis forever.

They weren’t supposed to succeed. They changed everything anyway!

In less than a mile, we journey across a century of untold narratives:

✨ A suffragette’s astonishing fight to be heard
🌸 A Chinese woman’s legacy forged against 1930s misogyny
🌅 A Japanese man’s courageous stand against WWII-era racism (with moments of joy)
🌈 A q***r innovator whose medical breakthroughs changed lives worldwide

Welcome to sidewalk time-travel with live storytelling about:

🌊 the earth-shattering event that made this valley ridiculously fertile
🧱 why there are so many brick buildings (and who paid for them)
⌛ the real reason so many downtown businesses have closed this decade

You’ll walk less than a mile, but cover centuries of wild, human, unbelievable stories.

Can you really call yourself a local if you don’t know how things came to be?

This 45 minute, free tour is different every month and happens on the 1st Friday - same day as downtown Friday Lights! Each month Engage Corvallis unveils a sneak preview of research being done for future tours. Think “hot off the notepad” on its way to being hot off the presses.

We launch from the temperature controlled Marriott lobby, connecting you to local stories as we explore an invisible side of downtown Corvallis. You’ll also have an opportunity to engage with fellow learning, story, or history enthusiasts, and make new friends who share your love for exploring our city.

Mark your calendars, and get ready to meet your streets. Come experience a new side of Corvallis and build your local cred with others!

Tickets are free, with an option to support local storykeeping if you have the capacity.
