A local third-grade class has gained some perspective on the history of Santa Monica.

“TOQ’s Santa Monica Timeline,” an exhibit on the history of Santa Monica from 1875 through 1975 was created by a third-grade class from Roosevelt Elementary School. The students did a year-long research project on the city’s history at the Santa Monica Historical Society Museum.

Hidden histories, detailed facts, and historic images are all a part of the exhibit, along with a re-enactment of the first Santa Monica land auction in 1875\. The Santa Monica Historical Society Museum is located at 1539 Euclid St.
