The Coronado Historical Association invites you to join us for this month’s installment of the popular Wine & Lecture Series on Thursday, April 16 about "San Diego's South Bay Railroads"! Enjoy an engaging evening with Bruce Semelsberger, archivist at the Pacific Southwest Railway Museum, as we explore how the opening of the California Southern Railroad in 1885 transformed San Diego and sparked the Great Southern California Land Boom of the 1880s. Discover how San Diego’s would-be rail barons set their sights on Coronado and the South Bay—and find out what happened next in this fascinating chapter of local history.

Join us on Thursday, April 16, at 5:30 p.m. for a wine & cheese reception followed by the lecture from 6 to 7 p.m.
