In the next few pages we try to capture Cannery Row in its historic glory days, during the turn of the twentieth century. This tour is divided into five sections and follows the path of the Cannery Row Historic Sign Tour that you can take when visiting the Row.

    Follow the path from the links below, and begin your journey back in time to Historic Cannery Row. If you have a chance, take a trip to Cannery Row and see the sites first hand. Enjoy!
