Admission includedStep inside the Whaley House Museum and you step into one of San Diego's oldest surviving brick structures, built in 1857 by merchant Thomas Whaley on a site that once served as the town gallows. The rooms are preserved with period furnishings that place you squarely in California's early statehood era. The Whaley House Museum draws curious visitors with equal parts history and mystery. Gas-lit ambiance, creaking floorboards, and original family artifacts create an atmosphere unlike any other stop in Old Town.
