Historic Larkspur Walking Tours - Centennial Edition

These free Saturday morning strolls, sponsored by Larkspur's Heritage Preservation Board, begin at 10:00AM and last two hours. The walks will be cancelled in event of rain.

HISTORIC DOWNTOWN

      Although Larkspur's downtown includes buildings and sites spanning more than 150 years of activity, this special Centennial tour will emphasize the lingering echoes of Larkspur as it was in 1908. Many of today's commercial buildings on Magnolia Avenue were established during the 1890s and 1920s. The tour roams around and into selected buildings, the Rose Bowl and the old train station. For more information, call Dick Cunningham at 924-6976.

WHEN:Saturday, Apr. 12, 10:00 AM
WHERE:Meet on the steps of City Hall, 400 Magnolia Ave., Larkspur
FEE: FREE!
GUIDE: Dick Cunningham

HISTORIC BALTIMORE-MADRONE CANYON

Baltimore Canyon's recorded history starts with a Gold Rush company that established a lumber mill there. Started as a lively logging camp, the canyon was gradually developed by summer vacationers and colorful residents. This walk highlights the lumber mill's location, the architecture of turn-of-the-century homes, some campsites of the 1900s, and the unique redwood forest setting that made "Larkspur Canyon" a popular summer destination for more than a century.

For more information, call Sue Cunningham at 924-6976.

WHEN:Saturday, April 26, 10:00 AM
WHERE:Meet two blocks south of downtown at the landmark oak tree standing in the center of West Baltimore Ave. at its intersection with Magnolia Ave. Ample parking exists on Baltimore Ave.
