Oceanside Historical Society to begin History Walks : North County Times - Californian: "It's time for the Oceanside Historical Society's annual meeting and to kick off the return of the group's popular Downtown History Walks.
The annual meeting will be at 10 a.m. April 19 at St. Mary's Star of the Sea School, 515 Wisconsin St.
The Downtown History Walks are at 9 a.m. on the second Saturday of each month through September. This event is free and participants meet in front of the Oceanside Public Library in the Civic Center, 300 N. Coast Highway.
The walks are usually led by noted historian John Daley, or another member may fill in, including Society President Kristi Hawthorne. For information call the Historical Society at (760) 722-4786 or e-mail: info@OceansideHistoricalSociety.org."
I had no idea these historical walks existed, but I cannot wait to go on one of these. I'm fortunate enough to have met John Daley (Cafe 101) through the Oceanside Tourism Council where he presented on the history of rail travel in Oceanside with a vision for the future. He is a treasure trove of information and great old photos. There's a lot more to Oceanside than the beach - ask me about our newest publication: "102 Things to Do in Oceanside"!
