BROOKINGS — The Brookings Public Library and Downtown Brookings, through a grant from the Beyond Our Walls project, have partnered to create a historical texting tour of Downtown Brookings. Take the tour to learn historical facts and tidbits about the Downtown Brookings area from the intrepid adventurer, Wilmot Brookings.

Participants can play at home or walk around town and follow the tour path. All you have to do is text “ADVENTURE” to 605-525-6415 to receive your first text and start the tour. Everyone who completes the tour will receive a “Certified Brookings Explorer” sticker.
