OB Historical Society Presents: ‘El Presido’ With Richard Carrico — Thursday, Nov.20

Join the OBHS, November 20, 2025, at 7 pm, “El Presidio”, featuring Richard Carrico, at Water’s Edge Community, 1984 Sunset Cliffs Blvd., O.B.

Think you know the early history of Spanish settlement in San Diego? Know where the first mission in San Diego was located? Were Kumeyaay prisoners executed at the San Diego Presidio? What the heck did those early Spanish colonists eat?

Join one of our favorite speakers and local historian and author Richard L. Carrico as he answers those questions and many more. Richard will walk us through the mid-1700s up to 1845 and literally uncover lost stories and histories.

In addition to his presentation on the history and archaeology of the San Diego Presidio and Presidio Hill, Richard will be signing his newly released book, El Presidio de San Diego: Excavating Southern California’s Lost City.

See you at Nov. 20th, at 7 pm, Water’s Edge Community. All OBHS programs are FREE!
