Educational Programs

 

Part of the mission of the RB Historical Society is to provide education about the history of Rancho Bernardo and surrounding areas. Two ways that we fulfill that educational mission are the monthly Speakers Series and our youth outreach program, the Kumeyaay Trunk Show.

Our monthly Speakers Series, coordinated by Vincent Rossi, is held on the second Saturday of the month at 11am in the RB History Museum. It features fabulous speakers showcasing a wide range of topics. Many talks are videotaped and made available online via our YouTube Page for those who could not attend the live presentation.

Our educational outreach program for young people has been a great success over the years. The Kumeyaay Trunk Show, presented by Shelley Charlesworth is the latest version. The goal of this program is to educate youngsters about the lives and culture of the original inhabitants of the area, thus 
inspiring a love of local history in a new generation.
