Tustin highlights Historic Preservation Week events May 16–23

Erica Demkowicz of the Historic Preservation Team presented the schedule and theme for the city’s Historic Preservation Week, set for May 16–23 in Tustin.

Demkowicz said the theme, "Tustin’s Roots: From Packing Houses to Suburbs," will highlight indigenous history, early packing houses and the railway, and postwar suburban growth. Signature events include a kickoff at the Tustin Library, an Old Town walking tour (Third Street Stroll), a Citrus Park walk‑and‑talk with the California Department of Food and Agriculture, a citrus care talk at Armstrong Garden Center, a cemetery tour focusing on early city figures, and a Night at the Museum at the Tustin Area Museum.

Demkowicz invited residents to visit the city website or scan the posted QR code for event details and thanked partner organizations including the Tustin Area Historical Society and the Tustin Preservation Conservancy.
