Students will gain an understanding of the early history of California from before the Spanish arrival in the mid-1700s, through the Mexican period of the early 1800s, into the Mexican-American War, through the Gold Rush, and finally into the early American frontier town that would eventually become the San Diego of today.
Their approach to teaching history is based on the concepts of participation and interaction with our docents, historic buildings and artifacts to give students a hands-on, first- person appreciation for the people, events, and material culture of the past.
