We are excited to welcome back volunteer, Tina! When asked what she loves about Coronado, Tina could not omit anything; enthusiastically expressing, "I love everything. To me, it has a fairytale feeling." Her time in Coronado stretches back to childhood memories, when her dad was stationed here. Her love for the community brought her back to Coronado at the beginning of this year after leaving for a short amount of time. Tina is a CHA tour docent who combines her love for history and Coronado into one enjoyable guest experience.

Long before the NASCAR Chicago Street Race or the modern Grand Prix, Coronado was a pioneer in American auto racing.

He raced along packed sand, dirt roads, and temporary circuits laid out on the peninsula.

In honor of Juneteenth, the Coronado Historical Association is proudly flying the Juneteenth flag at the museum today. Juneteenth marks a vital milestone in our nation’s history. Today we fly this flag to honor the enduring legacy, contributions, and rich history of Coronado's African American community. From the pioneering families who helped shape our early city to the residents and leaders of today, Black history is deeply woven into the fabric of the Crown City. We invite you to join us in reflecting, learning, and celebrating freedom and community today and every day.
