"The Journey" - The Dunham House Relocation 2020 135 years later, this sweet little house takes a coastal trip to her new home the San Dieguito Heritage Museum and Ranch through Del Mar, Solana Beach, Cardiff, and Encinitas

"The Process" - The Dunham House Relocation 2020 The house had to be cut in half in order to be transported; therefore, the move took two days. On the first day, we started the process with gloomy skies and a little rain followed by warm sunshine upon her arrival to the San Dieguito Heritage Museum and Ranch!
