Keeping California History Alive: Signing the Treaty of Cahuenga Reenactment
At a celebration for the 179th anniversary of the signing of the Treaty of Cahuenga, there was a reenactment to mark the significance of the event. The reenactment keeps the story alive and helps to teach local history to a younger generation.
The Treaty, which was signed at the Campo de Cahuenga, ended the fighting of the Mexican-American war within California. The signing predates what we know as California by about 11 months.
Campo de Cahuenga sits at a crossroads where a mountain pass meets a river ford and is a route people have used from indigenous times to the present. The site is described as being the most historic west of the Mississippi River that no one really knows about.
The Campo de Cahuenga site is now run by L.A. City's Department of Recreation and Parks which thanked the Campo de Cahuenga Historical Museum Association for their support year round.
The reenactment is an annual event and the public can find out more about all the parks programs at Recreation.Parks.LACity.gov.
