Stroll the historic Strand district to get an appreciation for the city's glory days in the late 19th century. The commercial horse-drawn carriages seem right at home clip-clopping over historic trolley tracks, and past elaborate brick facades that now contain shops and restaurants. Informative historical markers identify buildings around the district.
Look for the Grand 1884 Opera House, still in operation. The old dock area just north off Harborside Dr has been converted to house waterfront restaurants and museums.
