The Camp Pendleton Historical Society Museum showcases the base's transformation from a Spanish land grant to a pivotal Marine Corps training ground.
Before becoming a Marine Corps base, Camp Pendleton was Rancho Santa Margarita y Las Flores, a sprawling cattle ranch.
General George S. Patton played a role in the establishment of Camp Pendleton as a Marine Corps training base in 1942.
The base is a habitat for the endangered Pacific pocket mouse, a tiny creature with a big impact on the ecosystem.
The Ranch House, a historic adobe structure, dates back to the 1800s and offers a glimpse into California's past.
