“A Walk Back in Time”
Tour of historic downtown New Port Richey

Saturday, May 4th

Let our guides, dressed in period costume, take you on a leisurely stroll through downtown New Port Richey as it was during the Florida land boom of the 1920’s – when famous residents like golfer Gene Sarazen and silent movie star Thomas Meighan dreamed of making this the “Hollywood of the East”.

Experience the historic architecture and small town charm that continues to personify New Port Richey, as it did over a hundred years ago. Join us as we step back into the “Roaring 20’s”, and have complimentary drinks on the veranda of the historic 1927 Hacienda Hotel.

Free admission to the Rao Musunuru, M.D. Museum & Library is included with the tour.

Tour begins promptly at the gazebo in front of the museum in Sims Park.
Start time: 1:00pm | Duration: 2 hours
$30 per person / $20 for WPHS members. Advance reservation required.
