HISTORY WALKS BEGIN APRIL 11th
The Oceanside Historical Society features Downtown History Walks on the second
Saturday of each month beginning at 9:00 a.m.
Your tour guide will be Oceanside native and 101 historian John Daley.
We begin our walks at the Oceanside Civic Center Fountain at Coast Highway and
Pier View Way. (Look for the plaque commemorating Oceanside's founder, Andrew
Jackson Myers!)
Walks take participants to historic homes, churches, and banks, three Irving J.
Gill buildings, the famed “Top Gun” house, the Oceanside Pier and bandshell and
variety of other sites.
Along your walk look for the “O.U. Miracle” on the sidewalks and curbs, there's
a great story behind them, so ask your tour guide.
Walks are free and open to everyone and are pleasantly paced so folks of all
ages can participate. The tour takes about 2 hours.
Throughout the summer, through the month of September, walks will be held the
2nd Saturday of each month, and begin at 9:00 a.m. No need to phone in a
reservation, just join us by the "pond"! If you have any questions you can call
(760) 722-4786.
