Cohen's Railroad and the Town of Woodstock Walking Tour
About
The Town of Woodstock was the 1864 creation of A. A. Cohen and his partner J. D. Farwell. Cohen had tracks laid across Alameda on today’s Lincoln Avenue, and the San Francisco & Alameda Railroad began running through the peninsula of Alameda on August 25, 1864. Join us for walk through the Town of Woodstock along the old railbed—today’s Pacific Avenue. Cohen’s railroad station and wharf stood at the foot of Pacific Avenue. We’ll stroll up Fourth Street and see some interesting architecture along the way including a Gothic Revival home from the 1860s, a pottery factory, and some beautiful Queen Anne designs. Admission to each tour is $20 per person and meets at the indicated date and location at 10 a.m. Each tour will end where it started and should cover 90–100 minutes over 1–2 miles. We suggest you wear comfortable shoes as well as sunblock and bring water and a jacket as needed. Mobility devices, strollers \(kids under 6 are FREE!\), and well-behaved \(or especially cute\) dogs are always welcome. We offer a maximum of 35 spots per tour, and close sales when they are full.
