Historic Churches Walking Tour

Historic Churches:

Churches of many denominations with varying architecture were built in La Jolla starting in the late 19th century and continuing into the early 20th. Today they continue to occupy a large portion of major sections of the village. This tour visits present-day sites such as St. James By-the-Sea Episcopal, Mary Star of the Sea, Union Congregational and La Jolla Presbyterian while Olten describes their architecture and history. It also will include visits into select interiors and a demonstration of the recently installed new organ at St. James.

Tour participants will meet their tour guide, La Jolla Historical Society Historian Carol Olten, at 2 p.m. at Wisteria Cottage. Don't miss out! 

Tickets are $10 for members and $20 for non. Each tour will be about an hour and a half.
