FOOTSTEPS OF THE PAST: CIVIC DISTRICT EXPLORATION
Sat, 25th Jan 2025
9am to 12pm

Join us for a leisurely stroll through the heart of Singapore’s Civic District. We’ll meet at The Arcade, conveniently located just above Raffles MRT, at 9am sharp.

This isn’t just a sightseeing tour; it’s an opportunity to really engage with our rich heritage as we uncover the stories behind some of our most cherished monuments.

How often do we walk past our historical gems without a second thought? It’s time to change that! During our walk, we’ll take the time to appreciate the beauty around us while diving into the fascinating history of places like the Old Supreme Court, which, surprisingly, was built in 1939.

It’s incredible how much our city has evolved since then, especially as it faced the challenge of providing housing for a booming population.

This tour is also a wonderful chance for our senior citizens to reminisce about the past, while younger participants gain valuable insights about the Singapore River and the significant events that unfolded there.

Plus, you’ll discover the intriguing dynamics between Sir Stamford Raffles and William Farquhar, a historical rivalry that adds depth to our understanding of Singapore’s history.

So, grab your walking shoes and get ready for an informative and delightful morning. We’ll wrap up by noon, but we promise you’ll leave with a deeper appreciation for our city and its heritage. We can’t wait to see you there!
