Marine Corps Base: Camp Pendleton Historical Tour

TOUR MANAGER: Christina Koohmarey (6/29)*

Come along for an excursion showcasing some of the most fascinating locations on Camp Pendleton, full of rich and colorful history preserved by the Camp Pendleton Historical Society. Take a docent-guided tour of the magnificent Santa Margarita Ranch House, a stunning example of early ranch architecture in California. Built in 1827, this 8500-square-foot house continues to be the center of ranch and Marine Corps Base life. Next, enjoy a delicious included lunch at the Windmill Canyon Restaurant overlooking the golf course's rolling green hills. Later this afternoon, explore Camp Pendleton's Mechanized Museum. It originally served as the terminal building for railroads servicing the base shortly after its purchase in 1942, where many Marines arrived to begin their training for World War II and Korean War battlefields. The museum now contains working Marine Corps transport and battle vehicles, and interprets the history of Marine Corps vehicular usage from World War I to present day. NOTE: This tour requires the submission of legal names, birthdates, legal ID numbers, and country of citizenship.
