  • Date: Tuesday, June 16, 2026
  • Time: 6:00 pm
  • Tour Guide: Debbie Hinman
  • Meet At: The northwest corner of Mary Street and South Virginia Street

Join us for a walk along shady streets in a quiet neighborhood comprising several early additions: the Litch Addition, part of the original 72-acre Litch Ranch, the McCarthy Addition and the Sierra Vista Addition. All of these were established around the turn of the 20thcentury. The homes are an eclectic mix of styles, most dating from the 1920s through the 1940s. A portion of this neighborhood could be considered yet another “Little Italy”! Meet at the northwest corner of Mary Street and South Virginia Street.
