Chula Vista is a city rich in history, and it allows locals and tourists alike to discover its past through monumental landmarks in their area.
San Diego’s Official Tourism website shared some of the historical destinations within the city. The Chula Vista Heritage Museum is one of the historical spots that it included in their list. Free Things to Do in Chula Vista
“Experience what life was like in Chula Vista by exploring the city’s Heritage Museum where you will find many historical exhibits, artifacts and photos that chronicle the settlement and development of Chula Vista, including historic homes and buildings, daily life, community events, famous individuals and the city’s citrus and aircraft industry. In addition, as you walk out the museum’s front door, you will spot a drop hammer by Rohr Aircraft, the world’s largest manufacturing subcontractor of jet-related components and Chula Vista’s largest employer for decades, which contributed greatly to the growth of the city.”

More information about the Chula Vista Heritage Museum can also be found in their official website.
“The Chula Vista Heritage Museum is located inside the Chula Vista Public Library and is free and open to the public during library hours. Several organizations partner to create a new exhibit each year: the Friends of the Chula Vista Public Library, the South Bay Historical Society and the board of the Chula Vista Heritage Museum. Together we put on many programs and events throughout the year for all to attend. For the exhibit we also gather photographs, artifacts and eye-witness accounts of our local history.”

Vogue Theatre
Chula Vista’s Vogue Theatre built in 1945 is yet another historic landmark in the city. The San Diego Reader recently published an article on the famous landmark, pertaining to its restoration plans. More About Chula Vista
“The building permit to renovate the Vogue Theater has been issued by the City of Chula Vista, giving the green light to bringing the currently dormant historical building back to life. Janice Kluth, the senior project coordinator for Chula Vista, this week confirmed that Amorphica Design Research Office received the permit to start construction on February 13. The Vogue, a landmark in the old Third Avenue business district of Chula Vista, operated as a single-screen movie theater from 1945 until 2006. It was also the venue for official mayoral debates during some of those years.”
