Last-Minute Invitation: Davis History Walking Tour (Jan 7)

I’m offering a small-group Davis history walking tour this Wednesday, January 7. One participant is already registered, and I’d love to open it up to a few more people who enjoy local history, stories, and walking downtown with fresh eyes.

On this small-group walking tour, we’ll explore:

• Davis as Patwin land, and how Indigenous presence and stewardship frame the town’s history

• The arrival of settlers and how agriculture, animal husbandry, and the railroad reshaped the region

• Why Davis became a university town and how land-grant farming fits into that story

• The lives of ordinary and influential people who shaped downtown Davis

• A reflective walk along Putah Creek, connecting landscape to history

I’ve been leading walking tours in Davis since 2020 through Chronos Heritage Services, and I enjoy keeping these tours conversational, reflective, and grounded in place.
