Encinitas Preservation Association Presents the Historical Bus Tour - Featuring the historic 1886 Bumann Ranch and 60+ Historical Points The Encinitas Preservation Association (EPA) will once again be hosting the historical bus tour on Saturday, August 8 from 10 a.m. – 1 p.m. The tour includes over 50 historical points of interest and scheduled stops at OIivenhain Town Hall, San Dieguito Heritage Museum and a drive through the old Ecke Poinsettia Farm. The highlight of the tour will be a rare opportunity to tour the historic Bumann Ranch which was homesteaded in 1886. This ranch has been carefully preserved and represents rural life in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s. This is an extraordinary opportunity to see a working ranch with many historic buildings. Three generations of the Bumann family have called this home for the past 125 years. The buildings and contents are totally original and unchanged. Of the many Encinitas homestead ranches that once dotted the back country, this is the only one to survive into the twenty first century. Each ticket supports the preservation of two of Encinitas’ most iconic historical buildings, the Boathouses. The EPA acquired the SS Moonlight and SS Encinitas in 2008 in order to maintain them and make sure they remain in place for future generations. Tickets are $60 at the iconic 1883 one room schoolhouse. They may be purchased through the Eventbrite page. The tour will depart from the Pacific View Arts Center parking lot at 10 a.m. and return at 1 p.m. The 1883 School House will be open for viewing following the tour. Parking will be available at Pacific View Arts Center. Encinitas Preservation Association on Facebook / Instagram
