The Whaley House Museum

The Whaley House at night

Overwhelmingly praised as the first of its kind and finest home in Southern California, the Whaley House was a central pillar amongst the Old Town community. Besides being the Whaley family home, it functioned as San Diego’s first commercial theater, the county courthouse, and a general store. The legendary Whaley House is widely regarded as one of the most iconic landmarks in San Diego. Spend the day exploring the family home of Thomas Whaley as you’re transported back to life in the 1800s. From its rich Greek Revival architecture style and authentic decor to its mysterious and chilling past, it’s no wonder why this home attracts visitors from all over the world.
