Fulton Street, reopened to traffic in 2017, runs through Downtown Fresno's densest collection of historic buildings and public art.
Fulton Street was Fresno's main commercial street and became one of the first pedestrian malls in the country in 1964; it reopened to traffic in 2017. Its public art includes a casting of Renoir's “The Washer Woman.” The Old Fresno Water Tower and the Meux Home Museum are nearby. Choose a restaurant or shop from the directory, compare street addresses, and check hours before traveling; these are suggested stops, not a verified walking route.

The Meux Home Museum preserves the Victorian home of Dr. Thomas Richard Meux, whose family moved in in 1889. The museum offers general, private and school tours, hosts events and can be rented as a venue.
