9. Step into one of San Diego’s oldest cemeteries, where 19th-century graves and adobe walls preserve the stories of early settlers, outlaws, and soldiers. El Campo Santo is a quiet, hauntingly beautiful stop that offers a glimpse into the city’s frontier past. Keep an eye out because some say not all of its residents rest in peace.

As you explore the park, you'll pass beautifully preserved structures like the Sherman-Gilbert House, Bushyhead House, and Senlis Cottage—each with its own story tied to San Diego’s past. It's a peaceful, walkable glimpse into the city's architectural and cultural legacy, brought back to life through grassroots preservation efforts.

Today, the Mormon Battalion Historic Site offers hands-on exhibits, immersive storytelling, and interactive activities like gold panning and brick making. It's a fascinating stop that blends local, military, and religious history in one engaging experience.

Once home to one of Old Town’s most prominent families, the Casa de Aguirre now serves as a small museum showcasing artifacts from both the Aguirre household and its later use as a Catholic-run industrial school for Native American children in the late 1800s. Displays include luxury imports, household items, and tools from the era, offering a glimpse into two very different chapters of Old Town’s past.

About San Diego

San Diego is a sunny Pacific port city in southern California, with long beaches, a park of museums, a Victorian Gaslamp district and the border close by.

San Diego is where Spanish settlers founded California's first mission and presidio in 1769, remembered today in Old Town. Balboa Park holds museums, gardens and Spanish-style buildings from the 1915 exposition, with the zoo beside it. The Gaslamp Quarter's Victorian streets, a restored waterfront, Coronado's grand seaside hotel and a retired aircraft carrier turned museum are other landmarks.
