We’ve created the History Hub to keep you up to date on the San Diego History Center and our locations in historic Balboa Park and the Junipero Serra Museum in Presidio Park.
This is the place to find the latest information on our exhibitions, public and educational programming and interactive events.
This is the place where you can find our news releases, TV appearances, newspaper and magazine stories. When we make the News, you’ll find it here!

For a taste of San Diego craft brews, pop into a local pub.
But for “Taste of San Diego Craft Brews,” pop into your local history museum on Feb. 16. Sound strange? Then you haven’t been paying attention to recent liquid developments in Balboa Park.

SAN DIEGO — In the history of American art, Charles Reiffel is probably the best early Modernist painter you’ve never heard of.
Celebrated in his own day for Expressionist landscapes of remarkable verve and complexity, he quickly fell off the national radar screen after his death in 1942, just before turning 80. I was unaware of his work until 2008, when seven paintings turned up — and stood out — in a group show.

The Japanese American Historical Society of San Diego is moving to Balboa Park, where it will have an office and a small gallery at the San Diego History Center.
“Our organization has always been a historical society without a permanent exhibition space,” said Linda Canada, the president of the all-volunteer organization. “We’ve done exhibits all over the county and even in Arizona, but we’d like to have a place we can call home and let the public know about what we do.
“Obviously, Balboa Park is a kind of premiere place to do that.”
