Playbills and other ephemera offer a fascinating glimpse into the past. They capture the people, places, and culture of their time. CHA is currently collecting playbills from past Coronado Playhouse performances to help preserve these small but meaningful pieces of history and make them available for future generations to explore. Do you have an old playbill tucked away? We’d love to hear from you! Email us at [email protected] and be sure to stop by the museum to check out the display of Playhouse history.

What a historic success! Thank you to everyone who joined us for our Community Salute reception celebrating community and America250! We gathered to celebrate CHA’s Flag Mural Project, featuring over 200 hand-painted tiles created by local residents, military personnel, and civic leaders. Made possible by the 's Arts & Culture Grant, this vibrant artwork is a true visual tapestry of our island community. A special thank you to Westwind Brass for the patriotic music! If you missed the event, stop by the museum gallery to experience this magnificent creation in person.

What a fantastic evening at the annual Spreckels Summer Party! Members of the Spreckels Society gathered for great food, incredible views, and wonderful company, continuing a truly special tradition of fellowship and community support.

As CHA's most dedicated membership group, the Spreckels Society comes together each year for a vital purpose: funding the museum’s youth education programs. As our only fundraiser dedicated exclusively to this initiative, the evening's paddle raise ensures that local students and Jr. Historians can continue to discover and connect with Coronado’s rich history throughout the school year.

This year was especially meaningful as we presented the annual Spreckels Award to Councilmember Kelly Purvis. Thirty years ago, while serving as CHA's very first Development Director, Kelly founded the Spreckels Society. It was an honor to recognize her lasting legacy and present her with this award, which is given each year to one exceptional member whose dedication shapes our museum's future.

We are deeply grateful to all our Spreckels Society members for their generous commitment to inspiring the next generation. Thank you for making this year's party such a memorable success!
