In January we launched San Diego Cultural Heritage Tours with Old Town San Diego, the first tour of the series. This tour showcases the multicultural history of our oldest neighborhood.
Part II focuses on a newer area of Old Town, the 1960s-designed and created Heritage Park. This short self-guided walking or arm chair tour explores the seven Victorian buildings that make up San Diego's charming Heritage County Park and their storied past.
San Diego Cultural Heritage Tours is a new SOHO digital series. Begun in 2020, each tour will feature a San Diego neighborhood, and use the built environment to highlight the important inhabitants and cultural backgrounds of each place. While taking these tours, you'll discover that the walls of buildings not only speak to an architectural style of a certain culture and time period, but also embody stories that combine dozens of unique and diverse persons who lived within them.
We hope you enjoy these tours of San Diego's historic and cultural gems.
