Walking Tour of Historic Coronado
2022-03-31 11:00 - 12:30, 2022-04-07 13:00 - 14:30 | Coronado Historical Association, 1100 Orange Ave, Coronado, CA, 92118, United States
One of the best ways to experience the history of Coronado is to go on a historic walking tour. This is the secret that Coronado locals know: it takes time to sense the past. When you slow down, you have a chance to see, hear, and remember this place that Hollywood stars, princes, and presidents have enjoyed. Everywhere you look in this charming beach town, you find history. And, that history is easiest to see on foot – when you have a chance to linger in front of a tiny, shingled house, perhaps, and meet the resident as he comes out into the yard to water his roses and tells you about the multiple generations who have lived in the home. Or, when you seemingly stumble upon the magical house from which the Wizard of Oz was born.
We’re proud to host you on Coronado’s premier walking tour. Every tour purchase supports the Coronado Historical Association and its mission. Thank you for your support.
Every Sunday at 11 am & Thursday at 1 pm

“A 31-year-old artist, author, international speaker, ambassador, and philanthropist from Fallbrook, California, Joel Anderson creates in acrylic, mixed media, digital media, animation, glass, and video production. ‘My passion is for my art to make you smile. I enjoy using bright colors. When I hear music, I see color in the notes and sometimes that will show up in my art. When I paint portraits, I paint upside down so I do not get distracted by the emotions of the eyes of my subject. This way I can paint the shapes and shadows. In the end I will flip it over to finish the eyes and hope to capture the soul. I draw for the children at school assemblies. It makes me happy when students say my art has inspired them to be an artist. I hope to continue travel for inspiration and to share my art around the globe.'”
Joel Anderson has been to Peru, China, Japan, Canada, and across the USA where he has spoken on autism, inclusion, and friendship. Anderson’s art has been featured in The California Museum in Sacramento, The National Art Center of Tokyo in Tokyo, Japan, The H.H. Dorjie Chang Buddha II Cultural & Art Museum in Covina, The Soho Gallery for Digital Art in NYC, and more.
