Programs and results

What we aim to solve

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

The small city of Coronado has been growing and rapidly changing over the past 50 years. As the town changes, CHA works to preserve the unique civilian and military history that would be forgotten with this work. The Coronado Historical Association is the only organization that preserves and educates about Coronado's unique history, including the civilian and military history. Without the Association these stories, historical items, and community touchstones would be lost. The Association serves all Coronodans, especially the underserved military families in town.

The Coronado Historical Association's goal is to save and share our local history, as a catalyst for uniting our community. CHA, an essential resource and sole steward of the community’s rich history. Our focus is to embody the historic small-town character of Coronado – documenting, preserving, and promoting its colorful past while engaging residents in their city’s unique history, including its vibrant culture and deep military
roots. As Coronado’s trusted historian, we safeguard our community’s heritage and history – the foundation of a dynamic, inclusive and vibrant society.

Our organization focuses its strategies on adult and youth education, exhibitions, and collecting to accomplish these goals.
