MORMON BATTALION HISTORIC SITE Located in Old Town, The San Diego Mormon Battalion Historic

Visitors will literally experience history through exciting new technologies in cinema and special effects. Additionally, a resource room has been designed with interactive screen computers to allow for research on individual members of the Battalion. The Historic Site also has many interesting artifacts on display that were hand carried into San Diego by the Battalion as well as hands- on activities for all ages including gold panning, 1800’s laundry, brick making and dressing up in period clothing.

OUTDOOR MASTERPIECES You don’t always have to go to a gallery or museum to see art; San
Diego has several outdoor public art pieces. In North County, you’ll find the Cardiff Kook, a bronze statue of a surfer. Locals criticize the surfer’s poor form, making it a common target for pranks. The “Kook” has been dressed up as everything from Michael Jackson to a hula dancer to a “Jaws” victim. Find the statue along Highway 101 in Car- diff-by-the-Sea and see the locals’ latest prank! Mole Park, by the USS Midway Museum, attracts millions of people each year to see ‘Uncon- ditional Surrender,’ a 25-foot statue based on the famous 1945 photo of a sailor kissing a nurse in Times Square. The public art display is on loan, so make sure to see it before it’s gone!
