Unique & Offbeat
- Fort Bragg Oddities Walking Tour - It's nice to walk. Walking is a wonderful way to see parts of Fort Bragg you would not normally see. Take this self guided walking tour and discover some of the "Oddities" around Fort Bragg. A half mile walk can bag six hitching rings, a bar and church that predate the 1906 earthquake and one misspelled bronze plaque. An additional two tenths of a mile will get you a Stage Coach step! Or, if you plan your route carefully, you can walk six and a half miles and get them all! Have fun and be sure to look both ways before you cross the street.
