Historic Tours by Dottie

Hi everyone.  It's time to go touring again.  My tours are fun, interesting, educational, far from the ordinary, and we travel to the off-the-beaten-path places in luxury.  Every tour is unique because we end at a special historic place for a sit-down dinner that's included in the price. 

Spring 2012 schedule:

     April 21, 2012   All Around Central Downtown Redding

     May 5, 2012      Beautiful and historic eastern Shasta County

ALL AROUND

CENTRAL DOWNTOWN REDDING

Downtown Redding is filled with historic places.  We’ll visit over fifty places in and around the central Redding core while sitting in luxury on a 57-passenger bus.  They include bridges, a stone powerhouse, an ice house, many other assorted buildings, houses, a church, a canal, a school, businesses, sites where something historic once stood, the place where a 9.6-mile-long conveyor belt began, plus many more too numerous other historical places to list here.

We’ll board the coach in the Redding Convention Center parking lot and leave at 12:00 sharp.  During the day we’ll be twisting and turning our way through the city streets, driving up and down hills, until we see every last one of the very interesting historial places.

Our last destination is where we’ll be treated to a delicious dinner in a historic place – the Old Schoolhouse Restaurant located in the Pine Street School.  Before dinner, we’ll take a short walk down the center corridor of the school on the original old wooden floor.

Beautiful & historic

Eastern Shasta County



Eastern Shasta County has been a major agricultural section of our county since the late 1850s and still is.  Many of the ranches established way back then still exist today and are now being operated by fourth generation family members.  Besides the ranches, there’s lots more to see while sitting in the luxury of our 54-passenger coach such as Burney Falls, historic powerhouses, a flour mill, church, Afterthought Mine at Ingot, Burney, the site of Fort Crook, Pittville, Fort Crook Museum, and many other places, buildings and houses.

Because it takes about an hour to drive to eastern Shasta County, we’ll have to leave earlier. Departure time is 9:00 a.m. sharp from the Redding Convention Center parking lot.  I’m providing dinner but not lunch – please bring your own lunch and drinks.  Picnic baskets are fine because we have lots of storage room.  We’ll have lunch in a picnic area beside beautiful Hat Creek.

Our last destination is the restaurant inside the historic Fall River Hotel where we’ll get to relax and enjoy a delicious prepaid dinner.
