History Preservation Day

Visit the Old Borego Townsite and Step Back in Time


Sunday, November 9, 2025 | 1:00–3:00 p.m.
1580 Rango Way, Borrego Springs, CA 92004


Discover where Borrego began. The Borrego Civic Foundation invites you to History Preservation Day at the Old Borego Townsite, a rare chance to tour some of Borrego Springs’ original buildings from the 1930s and 1940s. These structures once served as the hub for early homesteaders and farmers shaping life in the desert valley.

Visitors can stroll the quiet grounds, meet longtime residents, and step inside one of Borrego’s first homes—still standing as a reminder of simpler times and the spirit of early settlers.



Adding to the celebration, Borrego Springs Elementary School 4th graders will display their essays on “Borrego Now and Then,” with three students receiving awards for their thoughtful reflections on the community’s history and growth.

Experience the story of Borrego Springs—its perseverance, progress, and pride—at this special event honoring the people who built the foundation of today’s desert community.

Brand case study highlights campus updates A brand case study by KI Furniture highlights recent updates at Borrego Springs High School, including redesigned classrooms, shared spaces, and new furnishings. According to the case study, the improvements followed voter approval of an $8.6 million bond. The campus had not seen major renovations since the 1950s, and much of the furniture had been in use for more than 30 years. The report outlines updated classrooms, library and study areas, and flexible spaces designed for group work and career-focused learning. Borrego Springs Unified School District serves about 345 students across three schools. The case study includes input from staff and students describing how the updated spaces are being used. The content is presented as a KI Furniture brand case study focused on the design and furniture used in the project.
