Historic Encinitas Bus Tours

Historic Encinitas Bus Tours

The Encinitas Preservation Association (EPA) will once again host historical bus tours on Saturday, August 1 and Saturday, August 15, from 9am-1pm, thanks to a sponsorship from Sea Coast Exclusive Properties.  The tours include 50 historical points of interest and scheduled stops at San Elijo Lagoon, OIivenhain Town Hall, San Dieguito Heritage Museum, and a drive through the San Diego Botanic Gardens. The highlight of the tour will be a rare opportunity to tour Bumann Ranch. Tour guides on the bus will give a brief history or story about each area. “No matter how long you have lived in Encinitas and think you know all about its history, you will learn something new during this tour,” says Carolyn Cope, liaison from Encinitas Historical Society and tour director. Ticket proceeds support the preservation of Encinitas’ most iconic historical buildings, the Boathouses. The EPA acquired the SS Moonlight and SS Encinitas in 2008 in order to maintain them and make sure they remain in place for future generations. (www.encinitas101.com)
