Free Old Town Walking Tour

Covering 14 points of interest in a little under two hours, this tour begins out in front of Tondi Gelato (711 State St). We’ll cover the history of Old Town; the 400, 500, and 600 blocks of State St and its transition from 1850 to the present day.   We’ll delve into those events that ushered in the Spanish-Colonial style of architecture, make our way over to the historic Brinkerhoff Victorian District and the ghosts of Ogle House, and finally, visit three of local architect Jeff Shelton’s residential projects including the famous “Dr. Seuss” house.  Discounted beer or wine tasting vouchers given to all tour goers; redeemable at Validation Ale or Santa Barbara Winery. (Does not have to be used the day of the tour.) Reservations required.
