The Chamber of Commerce has designed a walking/driving tour of historic sites throughout Aurora including sixteen historic buildings and homes dating from 1880 to the early 1900s, one being the Elliott home, the residence of Stephen and Anna Elliott who donated the land for the original plat of the town.
The tour begins at the historic MOPAC Train Station where visitors can obtain a printed brochure with brief histories, sketches, and map locations of the sites.
The Chamber of Commerce, the original railway depot station, was completely remodeled with a lot of hard work, dedication, and voluntarism from local citizens. Included in the building is the office of the Chamber as well as an information area, a community room, and the Historical Museum.
