BILL MARTIN - Mendocino Art Center

DOWNTOWN FORT BRAGG
created a self-guided walking tour of the
unusual things you’re not likely to detect
on a shopping tour. Things like horseand-buggy
hitching rings, obelisks, a house
that looks like a boat, a stagecoach step,
and more! The free printed tour map is
available at the Chamber of Commerce,
several downtown businesses, and many
inns and campgrounds. Or, if you prefer,
you can download it from Ron’s blog,
WalkingFortBragg.com.
You can start the tour anywhere, but
most begin at the Guest House Museum
on Main Street. A half mile walk can bag
six hitching rings, a bar and church that
predate the 1906 earthquake, and one misspelled
bronze plaque. An additional two
tenths of a mile will get you the stage coach
step. Or, if you plan your route carefully,
you can walk six and a half miles and get
every Oddity on the map! Ron says, “Have
fun and be sure to look both ways before
you cross the street.”
