Candlelight Tour of the Gaslamp Museum

Dimly lit corridors and the light of the moon set the ambiance for an evening tour of the historic Davis-Horton House.


Many souls have passed in and out of the oldest standing edifice in downtown San Diego, and some believe these souls never left. In its 173-year history, the house has been used as a boarding house, private residence, military barracks, county hospital, and even has some Prohibition and espionage history! Join us on a Candlelight tour and hear stories of past residents and present visits from the beyond!

Tour Date: Tuesday, October 24th at 7:00 pm
Tour Length: 45 minutes
Cost: $15.00 per person

Please note: The museum will be dimly-lit with LED flickering candles throughout. Watch your step! 🙂
