Torrance Historical Society’s 9th Annual Summer Stroll

On Wednesday, August 10th, the Torrance Historical Society is hosting the 9th Annual Summer Stroll Special — a docent-led tour into some of the hip restaurants in Old Torrance for a sip & a snack and a peek into the past behind the brick and mortar.

When Torrance was founded 110 years ago, business began to build. Downtown Torrance, which is in the center of the original footprint of the City, soon became the heartbeat of the town. More than a century later, many a business has come and gone through those old buildings — they each have a story to tell.

Not only will you learn the building’s history, we’ll show you old photos of the “before”, as you stand in the “now.” The buildings on tour include – the Museum, Red Car Brewery & Restaurant, Tortilla Cantina, Depot, Local Kitchen, Chado Tea Room, and Torrance Bakery!

When: Wednesday, August 10^th

Where: Tour begins at the Torrance Historical Society – 1345 Post Avenue, Old Torrance
