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. People once stepped off the small ferry “Ellen Craig” at our meeting spot. This tour will introduce town’s founders, their plans for a railroad at the “other end” of High Street, the site of the town of Melrose. We’ll also and learn of the sad death of one of the spouses. Dennis will also explain why Fillmore and Madison Street dead-end just past Mound Street. There’s lots of interesting architecture, an old (empty?) graveyard, and an interesting school on this tour. Why do they call that College Avenue? And what’s with the name High Street?
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 Sunday, April 26.
