We're happy to appear at street fairs, festivals, and other community events to show old photos of the neighborhood, give out free booklets, and chat with people about west SF history.
We also do slide shows and lectures for community groups, classrooms, preschools, clubs, historical societies, and other organizations who'd like to hear more about topics like the Sunset district, the old Rancho San Miguel, earthquake shacks, and "Carville".
Special walks for WNP members and their guests occur at least quarterly. Past walks have included Lands End, Ocean Avenue, the Parkside District, and Forest Hill. Join the Western Neighborhoods Project and come learn more about these fascinating San Francisco neighborhoods.

Parkside History Tour for WNP Members
WNP director Lorri Ungaretti leads a walking tour of the Parkside District for WNP members. We'll learn how the southern Sunset District rose from the dunes in 1905, got entangled in the city's post-1906 earthquake Graft Trials, and was developed by pioneering residents into one of San Francisco's most-admired neighborhoods. Some pretty tame hills, surprising architecture, and lots of history and old photos.
This tour is free, but limited to WNP members and their guests, and has a maximum capacity of just 30 people. Email woody@outsidelands.org with the number of your party, and he'll reply with the meeting location. -
