I'm taking a quick break from the Disneyland series to point out a local history event happening in Santa Ana this Saturday, April 3rd.
.
The Orange County Archives, the Old Courthouse Museum, and the Howe Waffle House Museum will all be open for their quarterly Open House, on Saturday, April 3, 10am-4pm. The Archives and the Old Courthouse Museum are both located in the Old Orange County Courthouse (built in 1901) at 211 W. Santa Ana Blvd., in Downtown Santa Ana. The Howe Waffle House (a beautifully restored Victorian) is right across the street.
.
The Orange County Archives will offer "behind the scenes" tours, but you'll also be able to spend the time doing research if you'd like. The Archives is home to a large and unique collection of government records, photos, directories, and other materials documenting the rich history of Orange County. This is where I'll be on Saturday, so stop by and say hello. (Normally, the Archives is only open on weekdays, 9am to noon and 1pm to 4:30pm.)
.
At the Dr. Willella Howe Waffle House & Medical Museum, local history authors including Rob Richardson, Phil Brigandi, Christine Salts, Roberta Reed and Alison Young will be on hand to sign their latest books. Other authors will include Michael Barry and Chip Martin. I think the Santa Ana Historical Preservation Society will be offering walking tours of Downtown again that day, but I'm not positive. The house will also offer tea, sweets, and Easter egg hunts for the kids at 1:00, 2:00 and 3:00pm.
.
The Old Courthouse Museum's gallery will feature "Defining California Style: The Architecture of Allison & Allison" -- a reprise of a very interesting exhibit from about eight years ago. Allison & Allison's Orange County projects include some of our most attractive schools, such as Huntington Beach High School and the recently demolished tower at Newport Harbor High School.
.
Hope to see you there!
