Trolley Ghost Tour in Santa Barbara

October 10th, 2008 by djb

The Santa Barbara Trolley Company has started a new tour today called Haunted Santa Barbara.

The tour has stops to places like the George Ogle House, Chumash Burial Grounds, the Old Mission Cemetery, Lincoln House, Lobero Theatre, and the Covarrubis Adobe.

Tours at 7:00 PM and 8:30 PM, nightly.

I was a little surprised to find out a trolley looks like a bus! But I guess a classic trolley that I had in mind are pretty hard to come by these days. :)

The Lobero

The Lobero is California's oldest, continuously operating theatre. Originally founded in 1873 and rebuilt in 1924, it is recognized as one of Santa Barbara's architectural jewels and a State and City landmark.

On Washington’s Birthday 1873, Jose Lobero (born “Giuseppe” in Genoa, Italy) opened California’s only opera house south of San Francisco on the site of an old wooden schoolhouse at Canon Perdido and Anacapa streets. It featured a suspended horseshoe balcony and could seat 1,300. At the time of its opening, the Lobero was the largest adobe building in California and soon established itself as the cultural heart of Santa Barbara.
