Top 10 Historic Sites in San Diego, California (CA)

March 4, 2022 Merry Kessler

San Diego embodies laid-back California culture, complete with a Boardwalk, surfing communities, and outstanding Mexican food. Breathe in the fresh ocean air at Sunset Cliffs Natural Park, then gobble down a fresh fish taco at a La Jolla seafood joint. The naval aircrafts at the USS Midway Museum will have you standing at attention. A free Sunday concert at the Spreckels Organ Pavilion is the perfect way to unwind after a Saturday night bar-hop in the thumping Gaslamp Quarter.

Started here before going to Old Town. The old original houses (1880-1890s) were moved here to this park and are a beautiful example of the early architecture of San Diego. Each house is totally different to the next & beautifully preserved, and has a description of its history. One house is open to the public, as a gift shop & tea rooms. The Jewish Synagogue is open & today is used by all religious faiths for weddings etc. Well worth a visit to this beautiful park.

USS Recruit

Reviewed By Garageninja1 - Murrieta, United States

While visiting Liberty Station- San Diego if you’re interested in Navy history this is a great stop! Plenty of parking close to ship. This ship was commissioned on July 27, 1949. It was commissioned for 18 years, for much of that period it was the only landlocked ship to hold that status in the U.S. Navy. It was used to train Recruits. She’s an impressive sight on land for sure. She was built to scale, two-thirds the size of a Dealey-class destroyer escort. She sits at the (Former Naval Training Center), San Diego. Before training was moved to Great Lakes. This ship assisted with the training of over 50,000 new recruits per year, the ship still stands showing Honor, Courage, and Commitment. She is currently unused, with the hope that she will someday become a maritime museum.
