The vision of the Santa Margarita Historical Society is to make our local history available on-line with hardcopy held at the public library located on the corner of I & Murphy Streets in Santa Margarita. Plans call for restoration of the small county jail building and documenting a number of the community’s historic buildings, both those that are still standing and those that have disappeared over the decades. The Society is recording the stories of “old timers” to help ensure that the history of the town, which grew out of the Mexican Land Grant Rancho Santa Margarita, is not lost.

Mick describes the Cambria trail, “The terrain on our coastal trail rides is fairly mountainous, and the longer trails enjoy spectacular views of the coast. These rides are suitable for beginner to advanced riders, and we can take little guys
and gals down to the age of 6 [years].” https://www.slovisitorsguide.com/cambria-san-simeon/outback-trail-rides-2
