$30 – Tour ticket
$50 – Tour ticket + signed copy of The Adventures of the Squeezebox Kid
The tour spans from Third and Fourth Streets to Silverado Trail, with 17 historic stops that trace the district’s rich past. Discover the family-owned businesses and Italian American community that shaped this vibrant corner of downtown Napa.
Location and Check-in:
Please arrive 15 minutes early at the northeast corner of Third and Main Streets near the Third Street Bridge in Veterans Memorial Park, Napa. Audio headsets will be provided.
The tour begins at 9:30 am sharp at the former Fagiani’s Cocktail Lounge and Liquor Store, once operated by a prominent Italian American family and later tied to one of Napa’s most chilling murder cases. Ray presided over the 2011 trial and authored The Napa Murder of Anita Fagiani Andrews: A Cold Case That Caught a Serial Killer.
The route covers about 1.5 miles of mostly flat terrain, crossing the Third Street Bridge, exploring the neighborhood by the railroad, and returning to Veterans Park.
