Escondido History Center

Escondido History Center Museum dedicated to collecting, preserving, exhibiting and interpreting our community’s history.

We were formerly known the Escondido Historical Society, however we are now the Escondido History Center. Our museum complex is located in the heart of Grape Day Park in Escondido, CA. Our main office is the yellow building that was the first public library in Escondido. Our main office is open Thursday - Saturday from 10:00am - 4:00pm. We encourage visitors to come on Saturdays when our Santa Fe

Depot (train station) and Blacksmith Shop are also open in addition to our main office. Come by on the first and third Saturdays of the month to also visit our Victorian Country House. Feel free to call ahead of time to organize a private tour for your group today at (760) 743-8207.

It’s a one-of-a-kind flavor experience you don’t want to miss! 🌶️🍬🍹 Do you like it spicy or sweet?

Vendor into 💫 With Grape Day Festival just days away, meet some of our wonderful creators!
Luminous Soul is a mother-daughter business born from loss and love. After losing their beloved mother/grandmother 3 years ago, they began creating as a way to heal — turning heartbreak into handmade candles and cake-inspired jewelry boxes, each piece reflecting their creativity and unique style. 💫
Completely self-taught and based in a small town, they believe deeply in supporting local. To them, shopping small means investing in stories, dreams, and real people. 💛 What’s your favorite candle?
