Did you know there was once an active volcano in Carlsbad? You can see the evidence if you know where to look. We pay a visit to the Bancroft House Museum, an historic East County Church, and our city's highest spot. Plus some historic video of the first day of Public Television in San Diego, things sent in by viewers and more!
