Historic Encinitas Bus Tour

The Encinitas Preservation Association will once again host a historical bus tour on Saturday, August 16, from 9am–1pm. The tour includes 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. Sea Coast Exclusive Properties is the EPA’s tour sponsor for a second year.  Tickets are $40 each and available at the Encinitas 101 MainStreet office (at 818 S. Coast Highway 101). Proceeds support the preservation of one 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. (760.753.4834, cope3@cox.net)
