Morning
Begin at the Old Town Transportation Center. Cross the street and follow the path into Old Town State Historic Park. Just to the left is the Visitor’s Center, where you can pick up a map. Walk along the right side of the Plaza and peek into the U.S. Apothecary Shoppe. Follow the signs to the Casa de Machado-Stewart and the Mason Street School (see Mason Street School). Back at the Plaza, visit the La Casa de Estudillo (see La Casa de Estudillo) for the best insight into an upper-class home of early California. From the Plaza’s southwest corner, continue out of the State Park. Walk along San Diego Avenue, where you’ll find souvenir shops, galleries, and restaurants. Try the Old Town Mexican Café (see Old Town Mexican Café & Cantina) for lunch.
Afternoon
Cross the street at Conde and backtrack up San Diego Avenue to visit the haunted Whaley House. Turn right on Harney Street and walk uphill to Heritage Park. Backtrack one block to the Mormon Battalion Visitor’s Center. Turn right on Juan Street and walk to Mason. You’ll see a sign indicating “The Old Presidio Historic Trail”. Turn right on Mason, follow the golf course to Jackson, and look for the footpath across the street. You’ll parallel Jackson to the left and wind uphill to Presidio Park. Across the grass are the ruins of the original presidio, the Serra Cross, and the Serra Museum.
