The San Diego City Council Tuesday unanimously approved a 20-year lease that will pave the way for a museum and community center at a city-owned property adjacent to Chicano Park.
The Chicano Park Museum and Cultural Center has for several decades sought to move into the 9,890-square-feet building at 1960 National Ave., which formerly housed an adult education campus.
The vacant property will allow the 48-year-old nonprofit to expand services, programs and exhibitions related to the art, history and sciences of the Americas, with an emphasis on U.S.-Mexico border region cultures. Read more

For the youngest preservationists
It's never too early to teach children about historic preservation!

Fun for children ages 7 and up, the book aims to teach basic concepts in historic preservation and to introduce the National Park Service's historic preservation programs. Download your FREE copy. |
