Today, the area behind SDASM's Ford Building is contains a parking lot, a field and a freeway. But this was not always the case. During the 1935 California Pacific International Exposition, there was a major attraction in this area, the "Roads of the Pacific." It was sponsored by Ford, who also constructed the building that our Museum now is housed in. Exposition visitors could test drive the latest Ford cars and "tour" recreations of current and historic locations of the Pacific, such as the Yuma Road and the Western Highway of Australia.
