Far more than a history lesson, Santa Monica Conservancy’s Main Street Walk shows us Main Street as a vibrant hub of the Ocean Park neighborhood, upon which its histories have been written. Your guide, Mark Gorman, street historian and author of the award-winning blog The Street Seen, will share stories that reflect years of walking with a curious gaze and that are informed by well-researched musings.

Check-in: A docent will greet you at the Shotgun House, 2520 Second Street in Ocean Park. Check-in on the day of the tour opens at 10:15 a.m., and the tour will start promptly at 10:30 a.m.
