What You’ll Find on the Blog


In her latest post, "From The Desk | May 1st, 2025," Mitzi explains the difference between the Stories of Borrego oral history project and the future Museum of Borrego — and how both will complement each other in preserving our desert’s heritage.


You’ll also get a first look at the newly installed Stories of Borrego logo on one of the doors at 707 Christmas Circle — honoring the Borrego Sun’s long history of chronicling the life of this unique community.


Stories of Borrego is about the people, the places, and the lived experiences that have shaped Borrego Springs.
