Historic Places with Elsa Sevilla has brought San Diego’s history to life since 2008, uncovering untold stories of the places and people who have shaped the region. With a focus on women and BIPOC communities, the series honors overlooked voices, including the powerful First Peoples of the Kumeyaay Nation. As an Emmy-nominated TV host and filmmaker, I serve as a history detective—connecting past and present through authentic storytelling, alongside my partner Guillermo Sevilla and our son, Julian.

SNAPSHOT: I’m the creator, host, and executive producer of Historic Places with Elsa Sevilla on KPBS / PBS, dedicated to preserving overlooked history, archives, and cultural legacies. I work alongside my partner, Guillermo Sevilla, co-coreator, co-producer, director of photography, and editor, and our son, Julian Sevilla, as a photographer assistant.
WHAT I DO: Historic Places with Elsa Sevilla brings San Diego’s history to life, centering the stories of women and BIPOC communities often left out of the narrative. With a front-row seat to history, I often step into the role of a history detective—uncovering empowering stories to share with viewers.
