Walking Tour of Historic Coronado
2022-04-07 13:00 - 14:30 | Coronado Historical Association, 1100 Orange Ave, Coronado, CA, 92118, United States
One of the best ways to experience the history of Coronado is to go on a historic walking tour. This is the secret that Coronado locals know: it takes time to sense the past. When you slow down, you have a chance to see, hear, and remember this place that Hollywood stars, princes, and presidents have enjoyed. Everywhere you look in this charming beach town, you find history. And, that history is easiest to see on foot – when you have a chance to linger in front of a tiny, shingled house, perhaps, and meet the resident as he comes out into the yard to water his roses and tells you about the multiple generations who have lived in the home. Or, when you seemingly stumble upon the magical house from which the Wizard of Oz was born.
We’re proud to host you on Coronado’s premier walking tour. Every tour purchase supports the Coronado Historical Association and its mission. Thank you for your support.
Every Sunday at 11 am & Thursday at 1 pm

Wine & Lecture: The Service Knows and Will Remember
2022-09-15 17:30 | Coronado Historical Association, 1100 Orange Ave, Coronado, CA, 92118, United States
The Coronado Historical Association invites you to join us for the following lecture in the Wine & Lecture series, The Service Knows and Will Remember: The Airplane Crash Site Memorial on Japacha Ridge. Local award-winning historian and preservationist Alexander D. Bevil will use historic photographs and maps to reveal a forgotten chapter in North Island’s early military history: the search for missing pilot 1st Lieutenant Charles L. Webber, and his passenger, Assistant Chief of Cavalry Lt. Colonel Frances C. Marshall. The search lasted from December 7, 1922, to February 1923 and was the most extensive and longest combined air and ground search in American military history during peacetime.
The presentation will also focus on the leadership role Rockwell Field’s pilots and observers played in flying outdated aircraft over forbidding mountain and desert terrain from San Diego to Tucson, Arizona. It will also discuss the role these men played in recovering Webber and Marshall’s remains and the erection of the first of two monuments in their memory at the crash site. Two of these pilots, base commander Major Henry “Hap” Arnold, and Texas-based pilot Major Theodore C. Macaulay would later play key command roles during World War II. After the war, Major Macaulay would serve as an active and well-respected member of the Coronado Civic Club and a local branch bank manager.
Reception at 5:30 pm, followed by 6:00 pm lecture. Doors open at 5:20 pm.

About the Speaker:

A graduate of San Diego State University, with a Bachelor’s degree in History, Mr. Alexander D. Bevil is an award-winning local historian. Before, during, and after his 20-year tenure as a California State Parks historian, he had worked diligently trying to save historic resources both in and outside the California State Parks system. Based in San Diego, he has evaluated numerous historic resources in California State Parks throughout southern and central California. Ranging from stone-built mountain cabins to “lost” towns, his favorite projects, however, involved investigating historic military resources: especially “lost” aircraft crash sites. In addition to explaining the memorial’s historical significance, Mr. Bevil seeks to use his presentation to garner support for his upcoming nomination of the crash site and its memorial to the National Register of Historic Places in time for the former’s 100th anniversary this December 7th.
