Whaley House Museum: Daytime Self-Guided Tour
About this experience
Explore the Whaley House, a historic site in Old Town San Diego. Before it was built, the land was known for the public execution of the thief James "Yankee Jim" Robinson.
Thomas Whaley built this two-story brick house in 1857, the first of its kind in California. It features Greek Revival architecture and is filled with historic artifacts and original family heirlooms. Over the years, the house has served as a commercial theater, general store, and county courthouse.
The Whaley House is famous not only for its history but also for its reputation as the "Most Haunted House in America." Visitors often come to experience its spooky atmosphere and learn about its past.
