Join the Burlingame Historical Society as we explore Burlingame’s history hiding in plain sight! We will depart from the Burlingame Train Station as we walk to show historic spots right in (and near) the downtown area that you might have overlooked before! Where was the creek that flooded the train station every year? Where was the first city hall? The first movie house? Discover the answers on a one-mile walk. Limited shade; bring a hat and water.
