Dimly lit corridors and the light of the moon set the ambiance for an evening tour of the historic Davis-Horton House.
Many souls have passed in and out of the oldest standing edifice in downtown San Diego, and some believe these souls never left. In its 173 year history, the house has been used as a boarding house, private residence, military barracks, county hospital, and even has some Prohibition and espionage history! Join us on a Candlelight tour and hear stories of past residents and present visits from the beyond!

Sunset Cliffs Park meanders along a mile and a half of San Diego’s coastline, beckoning tourists and locals alike. These stunning cliffs inspired Albert Spalding, sportsman and visionary, to create a park in 1915 for all to enjoy. Many have left their mark in the century since, including the mighty Pacific Ocean. John Mills, an enterprising land baron, restored the original park, only to have it fall into neglect during the Depression and World War II. It became a popular spot for pioneering surfers and divers in the postwar boom. The park’s colorful sunsets and landscape attracts artists, children and others that enjoy beauty. This month learn the history of Sunset Cliffs Park with author Kathy Blavatt.
