Overview
Step into a time machine and travel back to the vibrant days of old San Diego in 1850s. Picture a determined visionary named William Heath Davis, a San Franciscan with big dreams, setting his sights on creating a thriving town. Davis rolls up his sleeves and begins transforming the land near Market Street, pioneering the birth of what would become the remarkable Historic Gaslamp Quarter.
In a stroke of genius, Davis constructs a magnificent pre-framed lumber "salt box" house for his family, right at the heart of the action.
Fast forward to today, and we invite you to join us on a captivating walking tour through the streets of what was once playfully called "Rabbitville." Welcome to the one and only Historic Gaslamp Quarter! As you step into this time capsule of Victorian charm, get ready for an unforgettable experience that will transport you back in time.
