 On Sunday, July 13, 2008 from 1PM
- 5PM
take a self-guided tour through some of Carmel's most charming
and historic homes.
From
its beginning, Carmel has been a place of fascinating homes
and cottages. Many are the result of dreams measured in
lifetimes. They often reflect taste, imagination, and
ingenuity in solving practical problems. Some are small and
simple as a boat. Others are complex and multi-functional.
The best relate gracefully to Carmel's coastal landscape and
simplicity of life.

The
expansive creative abilities and adventurous spirit of Joseph
Jacinto 'Jo' Mora (1876-1947) are evident in all of his artistic
achievements. The exhibition of Jo Mora on the California
Mission Trail focuses on one of his deepest loves - the history
of California. Mora's passion was such, that his quest for
understanding motivated him to explore his interest first hand
by seeking out the actual sites that stirred his imagination.
The
Carmel Heritage Society's First Murphy House located at Lincoln
& 6th, reflects the legacy of our delightful community. And with
all the charm of days-gone-by, the village of Carmel-by-the-Sea
commands a deep respect and devotion.
Discover
the hidden history of Carmel-by-the-Sea. Walk with a volunteer
guide into the past when our village was a quiet retreat.
During this 1 1/2-hour tour, you will hear the stories of the
extraordinary folks who developed this jewel of the California
coast with a special vision to preserve its natural beauty.
