The Del Mar Historical Society is an energetic and committed group who love our beachside town. We are entrusted with preserving and sharing Del Mar's rich and fascinating history—a remarkable tapestry of railroads, racehorses, fashionable hotels, sparkling beaches and glamorous Hollywood stars.
The Del Mar Historical Society has been vigorously collecting original documents, early photographs, and countless donated items—each able to share its own special story. Indeed, one of our greatest challenges and most pressing needs is to find a permanent home for our extensive and growing collection. Our website is simply an opportunity to share with you a tiny glimpse of the grand tale that is Del Mar.
None of this would be possible without the dedication and vision of our volunteers. You are an important part of our living history. Whether you are joining us as a member, a volunteer, or as a first time visitor to our website, we are delighted to welcome you! By sharing the richness of Del Mar's past we hope to inspire an even greater appreciation of such a wonderful place as Del Mar.
