"From its origins as a place where cattle and sheep used to graze in the late 1800s to its period as a silent-movie mecca in the early 1900s, La Mesa has a rich and colorful past. The La Mesa Historical Society is dedicated to preserving the community's heritage for future generations." The society works to achieve these goals in two main ways, by working tirelessly to obtain, preserve, and protect artifacts and documents relating the the history of La Mesa, and by advocating for the preservation of historic La Mesa structures. The society's crown jewel is the McKinney House and Museum, which serves both as a historic house museum presenting La Mesa at the turn of the century as well as a museum of La Mesa history.
