Dominic Garcia of CBS8 News, San Diego is reporting that the Cabrillo National Monument is finally celebrating it’s 100th Anniversary this weekend. From the article:
The 100th anniversary celebration of the Cabrillo National Monument that was postponed in October by the federal government shutdown will take place this weekend.
The two-day event will include tours of the Point Loma lighthouse, World War II air raid drills, nature hikes and a 1940s swing dance.
The anniversary celebration is being combined with the monument’s third annual World War II-Fort Rosecrans Goes to War event, which is held on a weekend in early December. Saturday is the 72nd anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor.
“Combining the centennial events with our annual military history tribute will make this a very special and memorable weekend for staff, volunteers and visitors,” said park Superintendent Tom Workman. “We invite the public to come and celebrate San Diego’s only national park.”
