Center For The Inland Regions

As one of the largest museums in California dedicated to the history and culture of inland Southern California, this complex has many exhibits that explore early communities in the area, local industries like agriculture and aviation, and the history of firefighting in San Diego County. Reserve a guided tour for your group of local history lovers, host a fundraising event for your organization in one of the museums’ venue rental areas, or bring your afterschool groups to attend one of the many classes or workshops designed for learners of all ages.

Escondido History Center

If exploring the past is more your passengers’ cup of tea, then this 7-acre campus of historic buildings is sure to pique their interest! Built in 1917, this replica of a Victorian-era home and the surrounding gardens were once the headquarters of The Daily Times-Advocate newspaper and nowadays serve as a gathering place for events as well as a local archive of Escondido’s role in the forming of California as a state. The gardens, gazebo, barn, and library space have been renovated in recent years to host private parties, meetings, weddings, receptions, social gatherings and more. And while most groups reserve the site for special events and celebrations, the campus does host several open houses for curious passers-by—it’s worth stopping by even if you’re only in town for a few hours!
