O'Neill Museum and Historic Walking Tour
San Juan Capistrano, CA
Small admission or donation at the museum; call ahead (949-493-8444)
By Simir Shah
The museum is a circa-1870 house, one of the first wood-frame homes in San Juan Capistrano, furnished as it would have looked in the 1880s. The Historical Society's 45-minute Los Rios walking tour leaves the train depot every Saturday at 1pm and stops at its Victorian Garcia/Pryor House, the Craftsman Leck House and the restored Silvas Adobe. It's a manageable history outing for elementary-age kids.
