The Fairview Register is the monthly publication of the Costa Mesa Historical Society. Each newsletter contains news about the society, information about upcoming events, and articles about Costa Mesa history. It’s one of the best ways to stay up-to-date on Costa Mesa history.
Below you’ll find archives of the newsletter since 2012. If you’d like to receive a newsletter in your mailbox each month, consider joining the society.
In the August 2019 Fairview Register, we learn about the founding of the Costa Mesa (Civic) Playhouse, turn the spotlight onto our SAAAB class photo project, thank Kathy Bequette for her many years of service, and remember Ruth Levin and Cesar Pelli.
