Because
of it's rich history and worthiness of preservation, Felicita Park is
listed to the National Register of Historic Places. Tucked in a small
vale in southwest Escondido,
Felicita Park is one of San Diego's most diverse gathering places.
Year-round spring fed creeks separate the park into a patchwork of
natural and developed areas. Felicita Park is listed on the Register for
its rich Native American and pioneer history.
The
San Diego Archaeological Center was created in 1993 to provide an
archaeological curation facility for the San Diego Region. The Center
was the first nonprofit organization in the nation dedicated solely to
curating and sharing archaeological collections with the public.
Planning is underway to create a spacious and light-filled lobby,
enhanced exhibition space, classroom, library and research areas. A new
entryway will feature native plant landscaping designed to promote
conservation, outdoor exhibit and seating areas, water elements and
improved signage to promote the Center as a regional tourist
destination.
The Mission of The San Diego Archaeological Center is "to preserve archaeological collections and promote their educational, scientific and cultural use to benefit a diverse public."
