Walking Tour 2024

Sunday, August 4th, 1pm Join us as we explore Burlingame’s history hiding in plain sight! We will depart from the Burlingame Train Station at 1 pm as we walk to show historic spots right in (and near) the downtown area that you might have overlooked before! Where was the creek that flooded the train station every year? Where was the first city hall and first movie house? Our tour will be approximately one hour and will cover about one mile on flat ground. Limited shade; bring a hat and water.
