Free screening of "Ground Operations," followed by a conversation with the film's producer Dulanie Ellis about the farmer-veteran movement in America.

"Ground Operations" champions combat veterans who are restoring their own lives and revitalizing their communities by transitioning into new careers in urban farming, beekeeping, pastured livestock, aquaponics and all manner of food production. The cavalry is arriving just in time as half of American farmers are retiring.

History lovers of all ages are welcome to visit Mission Viejo's Heritage House, established in 2003 to educate the public about Mission Viejo history. Formerly a Mission Viejo Company new home sales center, it was the place prospective buyers came to find their dream home. Today, the Heritage House is where visitors come to learn about the people and events that made Mission Viejo "The California Promise."

No reservations are necessary and free parking is available.
