Historic Moments in Coronado: Holidays

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!  These photos represent several “Historical Moments” for Coronado, rather than looking at a specific decade from the past 125 years.

The 125th year anniversary of the incorporation of Coronado as a city is an opportunity to learn more about our history as a community. We will post a few interesting moments of the past 125 years along with some interesting historical photographs from the archives of the Coronado Historical Association, the Coronado Public Library, and the Kingston Trio Legacy Project. Thanks to these organizations and to Susan Enowitz, coordinator of this project, along with Mary Beth Dodson.
