Coronado Museum of History and Art
Coronado Museum of History and Art Review
The neoclassical First Bank of Commerce building, constructed in 1910, holds the headquarters and archives of the Coronado Historical Association, a museum, the Coronado Visitor Center, the Coronado Museum Store, and Tent City Restaurant. The museum's collection celebrates Coronado's history with photographs and displays of its formative events and major sights. Promenade Through the Past: A Brief History of Coronado and its Architectural Wonders, available at the museum store, traces a 60-minute walking tour of the area's architecturally and historically significant buildings. A guided tour of them departs from the museum lobby on Wednesday mornings at 10:30 and costs $10 (reservations required).
