You can rent bikes from stations all over the neighborhood and it makes looking at all the historic homes even more fun. The closest station is at the park at the corner of Eagleland and E. Guenther.

Transportation to Downtown

In the event you can’t walk or bike, an Uber or Lyft is usually under $10 to downtown and easier than parking. However, events, concerts, and festivals can raise these rates.
