Escondido History Center

Fodor's Review:

The outdoor Escondido History Center is adjacent to the California Center for the Arts, in Grape Day Park. The museum consists of several historic buildings moved here to illustrate local development from the late 1800s, when grape growing and gold mining supported the economy. Exhibits include the 1888 Santa Fe Depot, Escondido's first library, the Bandy Blacksmith shop, a furnished 1890 Victorian house, and other 19th-century buildings.
