About This Tour
If you have seen the Riverwalk and the Alamo...this is something really different. The King William District began in the 1840's when the first homesites were sold. This beautiful location is only minutes from the heart of San Antonio. Located next to the meandering river, you will be captivated by the grandeur of these residences. Hear the stories behind 40 of these these historic homes where many of the city's most prominent citizens lived. See the beautiful residence built by the man who created the first ice cream soda, the refuge of the eccentric socialite who was buried sitting in her Ferrari, and the house where the inventor of the corn chip resided. Also, the home that had the first electric lights in the city, and the houses of a famous tenor and another where a writer began her career. What do Elvis Presley, Davy Crockett and Lily Munster have to do with King William ? Hear all these stories and many more on your guided walking tour. Every step forward is a step back in time.
