Join us for a Roaring Twenties Party & Presentation at The Villa in Orange!You are cordially invited to attend the Annual Celebration of the Orange Community Historical Society! We encourage you to “dress to impress” in 20’s styled fashions and join us to enjoy a delicious dinner, light entertainment and a very special program presentation.
Historian Chris Jepsen will tell the riveting story of how notorious Chicago gangster Al "Scarface" Capone from 1927 to 1931 secretly tried to take control of the huge Rancho Santa Margarita which included much of South O.C. and all of today's Camp Pendleton, and had an unguarded coastline perfect for landing shiploads of illegal booze. The exciting story includes rancheros, bootlegging, and Capone's face-off with the padres of Mission San Juan Capistrano.
