Learning San Diego's History Through House Museums

One of my goals is to start exploring my own city more.  I decided to start off being a San Diego tourist during February’s Museum Month, when San Diego’s museum admission prices are 50% off.  I discovered some museums I had never visited and more importantly learned a lot about San Diego’s history and its origins through one of my favorite types of museums, house museums.

 

Whaley House Museum


The Whaley House Museum in Old Town is the only one I had visited previously, but that visit was during a school field trip and all I remembered were the ghost stories.  While the Whaley House certainly has its sad stories, it also has a lot of important San Diego history as well.
