Assisi Heights has stories engraved on the walls. Literally! However, many more anecdotes tell the stories that chronicle the history hidden in the walls. Come up close and see some of the architectural features, aesthetic design aspects, and a few of the often-overlooked artistic Franciscan features. Hear the stories stored in stone. Unravel the mystic nature of Assisi Heights. Wear walking shoes for this indoor and outdoor event.
