The month of October has already been a busy one. The Santa Ana History Room has been present at the National History Day at NARA. It was a fantastic event, and it is always exciting to see high school youth excited about history.  As always our collection on Mendez v. Westminister was a talking point but some of our other collections were highlighted as well.  Recently, we were apart of the 11th Annual Cemetery Tour by the Santa Ana Historical Preservation Society, as usual it was a great success and they sold out every tour.  For now we are weathering the budget crisis and these tough economic times with everyone else. I am hopeful and I look forward to seeing a large turnout for this year's election on Nov.

An exhibition on the famous 19th century actress Madame Henlena Modjeska and her lengendary estate in the Santa Ana mountains opened at the Old Courthouse Museum on Thursday August 7, 2008 and remains on display until late January 2009.
