    The San Pasqual Battlefield is a place you've probably driven past a few times if you live in Escondido. It's right past the Wild Animal Park on the way to Ramona. It's a pretty small museum but for those of you that love history, especially that of the West, I found this to be a great stop. The working docent is a treasure trove of information will tell you interesting facts and stories about this and other battles that fulfilled the Manifest Destiny. LIVING HISTORY DAYS Experience re-enactors and cultural events along with live Cannons! BATTLE DAY ( check out spbva.org for details) Dec 4 2016 this year. This is a battle re-enactment. - There's a 10 minute movie to watch inside the building ( don't expect any fancy graphics or narrations from Bill O'Reilly) - This is a FREE museum, but you can donate if you like. NOTE - The walking trail is closed ( we hiked it anyway), but maybe if you ask the docent you might be able to get approval to hike it . Some areas of the trail have been washed out but if you have good shoes it's not a problem.

    (Disclaimer- I am an employee of San Pasqual Battlefield State Historic Park) San Pasqual is now open to visitors! Friday-Sunday, from 10am-4pm, you can explore our trails and visit our temporary "outdoor museum." Our indoor facilities are temporarily closed, but fortunately, we have a makeshift museum set up in our amphitheater. Masks are required for both visitors and employees, and we are committed to following the CDC standards.

    Fantastic piece of California history! Also, a clean and friendly place to stretch your feet, use the *clean* restroom and have a picnic lunch. Absolutely free but they accept donations. When we stopped by in the Visitor's Center, we were greeted by Gil. Not sure if he is an employee or volunteer but he is wonderful. Gave us a historic rundown of the San Pascual Battle during the Mexican-American war with oral history, pictures and handouts. A short video was played upon request. If you're in the area, it is worth a stop. Plus, they have a trail in the vicinity to explore. Watch out for snakes though. Open weekends 10am-4pm.

    My 250th review should be a worthwhile one. Sadly here in Southern Cali. Many historical events and sites are not remembered. Thankfully, this Battle site has been preserved(As best as past past city/State officials would allow).when I went some time back, I expected to see more. But how can you really preserve a place out in the open? I was shocked to see these depictions of California's history that the Public schools barely teached. There were skirmishes,Battles and massacres in this war with Mexico,including; Americans,Mexicans, Native Americans and Californio's. The museum has artifacts,nice stained glass depictions and lots more. At one sign telling you the Battle was nearby(I just stood there standing at the land and imagined it happening. Don't get me wrong, I am not glorifying War, but at same time We should never forget Our History. Did not see the re-enactmentsw

    I liked their honest description of the battle.
