Brovo!!! A pack crowd joined the Ocean Beach Historical Society as Eric DuVall presented The Mystique of Lomaland, on Thurs., Aug.21, 2025 at Water’s Edge Community Center – 1984 Sunset Cliffs Blvd., O.B.
In 1897 some mysterious East Coast “crusaders” purchased more than 100 acres of property on the top of the Peninsula. The property was hard to get to. There was no community known as Point Loma at the time, and nobody knew who those out-of-towners were. The crusaders, known as The International Brotherhood and Theosophical Society, led by Katherine Tingley, were bringing art, music, classical drama, and some decidedly non-Christian ideas to the wild west town of San Diego. How did that go? Surprisingly well, but it was a bit of a bumpy ride. Programs are always FREE!

Great discussion and presentation. I nearly skipped this one since, I’ve heard much about Lomaland in the past. However, you covered a lot of information that was new to me. Thank you!
is the presentation available for download? I’d see again several of the slides. If possible, I’d like copies of some of the aerial/landscape views.
