OLD TOWN TEMECULA CANDLELIGHT WALKING TOURS |
"Never let the truth get in the way of a good story." |
Your Old West guide will take you on a journey into the past to the historic “boomtown” days of the 1880’s. The 90 minute tour will take you into the Historic District where you will visit the oldest spots in Old Town Temecula. Our tales and legends are blended with bits of human interest and historical fact, making them entertaining and educational for all ages. The Town of Temecula is not the gateway to anywhere, rather it is at the crossroads where yesterday greets tomorrow. It is a community that was alive and kicking long before most other California cities were born. The name Temecula comes from the Luiseño Indian word “Temecunga” – “temet” meaning “sun” and “-nga” which means “place of”. The Spanish interpreted and spelled the word as “Temecula” translated to mean “The place of the Sun”. Temecula is the only city in California to still retain its original Indian name. |
