The purpose of the San Pasqual Battlefield State Historic Park is to honor those who participated in the battle between the United States forces and the Californio forces on December 6, 1846; to set straight the facts surrounding the battle; to fairly represent both sides involved; to tell the story of the Native Americans in the valley at that time and to relate the history of the valley since 1870.

The Visitor Center/Museum serves as an information center for the battle, the valley and the California State Park System.

The San Pasqual Battlefield Volunteers Association sells educational and interpretive materials, conducts tours of the facility, gives talks by reservation and stages living history programs. Membership in the Volunteers is open to all.
