History Walking Tours
As part of our commitment to educate and inform about local history, we have been presenting series of walking tours around Alameda since 2022. Join award-winning Historian Dennis Evanosky for leisurely walks that will leave you with a greater appreciation and understanding of Alameda’s history. We explore a wide range of topics including early residents, architecture, the environment, transportation, cultures, and other topics of historical significance. View information from our previous tours.
Each tour meets at the time, date, and location stated and will end where it started. Each walk will cover 90–100 minutes over 1–2 miles. We suggest you wear comfortable shoes as well as sunblock, and bring water. Mobility devices, strollers (kids under 6 are FREE!), and well-behaved (or especially cute) dogs are always welcome.
The money raised from ticket sales goes to support our expenses incurred running a nonprofit news and information source to serve Alameda. We hope you will join us and have some fun learning about Alameda’s history!
Upcoming Tours
In 2025, our schedule of tours will take place from March to October. Each tour will be presented twice, once each on a Saturday and Sunday, except for the Park Street and Webster Street business district tours which are held only on Sundays due to local congestion.
To prepare you for each tour Dennis will present a short—one hour or less—illustrated lecture before each set of tours to provide additional context. This lecture is optional, and you will enjoy and learn from each tour even without viewing the introductory presentation. The link to watch each lecture will be sent to ticket holders before the tour they signed up for.
Admission to each tour is $20 per person. 2025 tours with purchase links will be posted soon.
