Old Town San Diego State Historic Park, located in the Old Town neighborhood of San Diego, California, is a state protected historical park in San Diego. It commemorates the early days of the town of San Diego and includes many historic buildings from the period 1820 to 1870. The park was established in 1968.
In 2005 and 2006, California State Parks listed Old Town San Diego as the most visited state park in California. In 1969, the site was registered as California Historical Landmark #830. Then on September 3, 1971, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places as Old Town San Diego Historic District.
The first European settlement on the West Coast of the present-day United States was the San Diego Presidio, a military outpost of Spanish California, founded by Gaspar de Portolà in 1769. Mission San Diego de Alcalá was founded by Father Junípero Serra the same year. The Presidio and Mission were originally built on a bluff above the San Diego River, Presidio Hill, which is now the site of the city-owned Presidio Park and which is immediately adjacent to Old Town State Historic Park.
After five years the Mission moved to a location several miles upriver at the present site of Mission San Diego de Alcalá. Presidio Hill remained the primary settlement for several decades because it was defensible against attack by European enemies or hostile Native Americans. As the need for defense decreased, settlers preferred to live at the base of the hill because of greater convenience. In the 1820s the town of San Diego grew up at the base of the bluff, at the site commemorated by Old Town San Diego State Historic Park. The Presidio was abandoned and fell into disrepair.
The Old Town area remained the heart of the city of San Diego until the 1860s, when a newcomer to San Diego named Alonzo Horton began to promote development at the site of present-day Downtown San Diego. Residents and businesses quickly abandoned Old Town for Horton's New Town because of New Town's proximity to shipping. In 1871 government records were moved from Old Town to a new county courthouse in New Town, and Downtown permanently eclipsed Old Town as the focal point of San Diego.
Old Town San Diego State Historic Park preserves and recreates Old Town as it existed during the Mexican and early American periods, from its settlement in 1821, through 1872 when it lost its dominant position to Downtown. The Old Town area is a popular tourist destination, known especially for its Mexican restaurants. The state park itself hosts several eating establishments, and other restaurants and gift shops are found in the surrounding neighborhood.
The museums include:
Casa de Estudillo, 1827 adobe house, a National Historic Landmark in its own right
Casa de Machado y Silvas, 1840s adobe
Casa de Machado y Stewart, a restored 19th century adobe[9]
Black Hawk Smithy & Stable, which features blacksmith demonstrations
Colorado House, reconstructed 1850s hotel building that serves as the Wells Fargo History Museum, featuring a reconstructed 19th-century stage stop and telegraph office
First San Diego Courthouse, a reconstructed mid 19th century courthouse
Johnson House, a reconstructed mid 19th century office building later the house of George Alonzo Johnson.
Mason Street School, the first public school house in San Diego
Racine and Laramie, a reconstructed mid 19th century period tobacconist
San Diego Union Museum, a mid-19th century period newspaper office and print shop
Seeley Stables, a reconstructed mid 19th century stable and barns that feature horse-drawn buggies, wagons, carriages and western memorabilia
Cosmopolitan Hotel and Restaurant, an 1870 restored hotel, still working as hotel and restaurant.
Living history demonstrations and free tours are regularly scheduled. Historical interpretation is primarily carried out by park employees and volunteers, and the Mexican Commercial corner is host to several locally based small businesses and artists.

Beginner Beekeeping FAQ 39 Can you dry unripe honey? My Refractometer
In this video we discuss beginning beekeeper questions, intended for small scale backyard Honey Bee enthusiasts.
YES! in response to those generous viewers who have asked how they can support my work, please follow this link:
1) You've covered infrared Cameras, could you describe why you like the model you're using?
2) I really don't want, nor do I have time for, more than two hives. Is keeping hives small a problem?
3) Do you plan to review the new Flow hive with their new wood sourcing?
4) What can I do with extracted honey that has a higher water content? Also, is it necessary to remove supers in an area where winter isn't that bad, like Florida?
5) You show hives that are level from side to side, how should they be from front to back?
6) What are the dimensions of the FlowHive Flow-Frames?
7) What books do you recommend for learning more about beekeeping?
8) Assuming my colonies survive winter, when would be a good time to split them and add a BeeWeaver Queen? What are the advantages to the choices they offer?

Germany: Low Crime, Clean Prisons, Lessons for America | Jeff Rosen | TEDxMountainViewHighSchool
Germany has a much lower crime rate and fewer people in prison than the United States. How does Germany do that? Is it because their prisons are different than ours? Is there anything we could learn from them? Find out.
District Attorney Rosen is an experienced prosecutor and a recognized leader in criminal justice reform. His mission for the Santa Clara County District Attorney's Office is to vigorously pursue justice in a way that is fair and treats everyone with respect. His core values are service, hard work, transparency and integrity.
Since arriving in the Bay Area, Mr. Rosen has been active in the community. He served as president of a large synagogue, taught trial advocacy at Santa Clara University Law School and trained police officers in report-writing.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at
