Encinitas Preservation Association Announces Boathouse Plus Architectural Tour

Editor's Note: The following announcement is from the Encinitas Preservation Association. 

On April 22, 2012, from 11:00am – 4:00pm, the Encinitas Preservation Association will be hosting the Boathouse Plus Architectural Tour. The tour will begin at the historic Bumann Ranch, a 10-acre homestead built in 1886. For the past 125 years, the Bumann Ranch has been the home to three generations of Bumanns. The ranch has been carefully preserved—the buildings and contents are entirely original and unchanged—which provides visitors with a taste of what homestead life was like in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s. This is a unique opportunity to see the only working ranch in Encinitas that has survived into the 21^st century. Visitors will have the ability to buy fresh eggs and preserves!

The Bumann Ranch is one of many Encinitas gems that are a part of this extraordinary Architectural Tour. The tour also features the Self-Realization Hermitage and Gardens, the Derby House, the School House, La Paloma Theatre, and the Boathouses. This is an event for the whole family and for anyone who wants to learn more about the beginnings of old Encinitas.

Tickets are available for purchase in advance at Downtown Encinitas MainStreet Association and Coast Hwy Traders. On the day of the tour, tickets will be available to purchase at the School House, Boathouses and Coast Hwy Traders. Tickets are $25 and children under 12 can enjoy the tour for free.
