Today I took the opportunity to take a tour of the historic train station. A few years ago this building was in total disrepair. Today it is a beautiful landmark in Venice. This was largely due to the foresight of making it a transit transfer station the the county public transit system. It's a very logical use that made funds available for restoration.
We had a great guide name John (in the photo) who really brought local history alive for us. If you're in the area I recommend taking some time for this tour. Check out the
Activity/Program Calendar on the Venice Area Historical Society's web site for times.
Just went there Memorial Day weekend, John gave us our tour as well, great guy, great tour!
