Heritage Park & Museum — Attraction in Oceanside

That may stop one day, so enjoy this little village while you can. I have heard of people getting married there. What a great place for that. I haven't been in a little while, so I'm not sure if they still allow that, but you can call and ask. I think little ones will be thrilled with...
