Private Docent Tour Camron-Stanford House
The Camron-Stanford House is the last of the beautiful Victorian mansions that once surrounded Lake Merritt and was the home to five influential families.
The restored home helps visitors time travel to the 1880s and enter meticulously recreated living spaces while learning about the early days of Oakland as a city.
Warning: It is not ADA compliant. There are stairs.
Just for fun, we will also see the Halloween exhibit, "Ghoulish and Ghastly: 19th Century Monsters in Popular Culture." RCSF member Iliana Morton, who is the executive director, has invited us to use the veranda after the tour. There will be a self service tea for our group, and we may order boxed lunch.
The tour cost is $5 for adults, $4 for seniors.
