Diego Sepulveda Adobe Estancia of Costa Mesa
Costa Mesa, California
Description

Our Society has two facilities, the Diego Sepulveda Adobe (California Historical Landmark #227), and our headquarters/museum/research facility at 1870 Anaheim Street in Costa Mesa. A part of our group, the Santa Ana Army Air Base Wing, covers the Santa Ana Army Air Base which was a pre-flight school for pilots, navigators and bombardiers from 1942-1946. We have collections covering both Costa Mesa and the SAAAB, as well as exhibits for both. When corresponding, please use our P.O. Box 1764, CM, 92628 address.
