History Talks: Alonzo Horton's Spouses and Houses
410 Island Avenue, San Diego, 92101
Cost: Free - $5
The Gaslamp Museum continues its celebration of the 150th anniversary of the arrival of Alonzo Horton in San Diego with a lecture given by Sandee Wilhoit, who will delve into her research on Horton’s wives and his houses in San Diego. Historical records and accounts from the time give varying accounts on how many wives Horton had in his life. Through Horton’s 42 years in San Diego he bought, built, and sold many houses around the city. Today, only the Davis-Horton House remains. View seldom seen photos of the lost buildings and hear the stories they tell about San Diego’s early history. History Talks! is a monthly lecture series presented by the Gaslamp Museum at the Davis-Horton House.
