Our Ocean View Victorian Berkeley. Led by Stephanie Manning
The evolution of research is reflected in this walk. We will talk about such things as what scientists used to think about the West Berkeley Shellmound, what historians used to think about the natives who lived here, where white people settled in the mid-nineteenth century and the gradual formation of what we see there today, including the changing demographics and architecture.
If you have any suggestions for or would like to organize and/or lead a walk, please contact us by email to [email protected].
Tours start at 10:00 am and end at approximately 12:00 noon. Sometimes they are slightly longer, so some extra time should be allowed in case the walk meets an informative passerby or dwells at an interesting site. Tours are limited to 30 paying participants unless noted otherwise. Pre-paid reservations are required and tickets are not refundable. Tours are conducted in rain, shine or Berkeley fog and are wheel chair accessible unless otherwise noted.
Keep a record of your order. E-mail addresses and telephone numbers are very important for last-minute changes and confirmations. You will be sent an e-mail or we will phone confirmations with starting points.
For last-minute reservations, call 848-0181 between 1 and 4 pm on the Thursday or Friday before the tour to determine meeting place and sign up if there is an opening. The BHS, a volunteer organization, appreciates your support.
To sign up for one or more walks, see the BHS website for a printable flyer with an order form.
