Grand Opening of the Mormon Battalion Historic Site
I'd place the new Center on the "must see" list for all who live in or visit San Diego. It's well designed, entertaining, and interactive. Anyone who desires can get an old fashioned photo for free, pan for "gold," use a hand-powered water pump, or play topical touch-screen computer games. Does anyone recognize the T-shirt I wore today?
The Site focuses solely on the Mormon Battalion and its historic contributions. The missionary hosts wear period clothing, and are like park interpreters as opposed to proselytizing missionaries.
Those of you who were in San Diego in 1997 will remember walking in the sesquicentennial march from Jack Murphy Stadium to Old Town. That's where the T-shirt came from. The 2010 Battalion entry to Old Town Plaza is shown here.
