Join Dennis Evanosky, the Alameda Post’s award-winning historian, for leisurely 90-minute walks that will leave you with a greater appreciation and understanding of Alameda’s history. During this tour, learn how the first farmers settled in and what crops they grew. We’ll get to know some of the more interesting farmers, including Dennis’s favorites: a Civil War veteran whose body is (almost) completely covered in tattoos, and the man who held out to the very end. Did you know that one of the property owners want to put a railroad yard on Bay Farm and that Bay Farm had an airport on the marshland just across today’s Mecartney Road?
Admission is $20 per person, with 35 spots per tour. Get your tickets online now! Sales close when they run out. When space permits, we sell tickets in person at the the start of the tour. This tour will also be held on Saturday, April 18.
Each tour will end where it started and should cover 90–100 minutes over 1–2 miles. We suggest you wear comfortable shoes as well as sunblock, and bring water and a jacket as needed. Mobility devices, strollers (kids under 6 are FREE!), and well-behaved (or especially cute) dogs are always welcome.
