“Windows Into the Past” Project & Walking Tour:
San Pedro Bay Historical Society commemorated San Pedro’s 125th Anniversary by creating a series of historical exhibits and displays in downtown business windows. The windows, framed in an attractive art deco design, created a walking tour that was a destination in itself and of high interest to history lovers
You began your tour at 6th and Harbor Boulevard, walked west on 6th Street to Pacific where you would turn left (south) to see the “From Croatia to San Pedro” display at the Croatian Cultural Center, then you would head east on 7th Street down to the Municipal Building and Peppertree Plaza.
