The Knox HouseImagine El Cajon without all the modern chain stores, coffee shops and paved roads. Stepping into the Knox House Museum near downtown will feel like a trip back to that time.
The house – built in 1876 as a hotel and residence for the Knox family – is a window into East County's past, providing guests with a local interpretation of American history. But don't confuse a visit to the Knox House with an ordinary museum trip.

Celebrity sightings are about as rare in El Cajon as a cool breeze in July.
Yet come Nov. 18, this East County city will be teeming with teen sensations and television stars.
The 61-year-old Mother Goose Parade, known more for its storybook character floats and beauty queens than Hollywood glitz and glamour, is getting an extreme makeover.
Among the bevy of young stars scheduled to perform or appear are Corbin Bleu of “High School Musical”; singer Jesse McCartney; “American Idol” runner-up Katharine McPhee; and Mario Lopez from “Dancing with the Stars.”
