Dana Point Historical Society Walking Tour

Join historians on the Dana Point Historical Society’s annual historic town center Walking Tour. See and hear the stories of historic landmarks, view home exteriors of S. H. Woodruff’s original 1920s planned community as well as Bluff Top harbor views, c. 1818 to 1939, that represent the area’s early history.

The tour meets at the corner of PCH and Blue Lantern, at 2 PM, in front of the historic building now home to Coastal Kitchen restaurant and takes about 1 1/2 hours.  The tour covers approximately one mile on mostly flat surface streets.  Reservations are suggested by emailing museum@DanaPointHistorical.org or by leaving a message at 949-248-8121.  Indicate which day (Saturday, March 2 or Sunday, March 3) and the number in your party.  Donations to the Historical Society will be accepted.
