The museums are free, there are free shuttles connecting them with the Metro Orange Line Heritage Square Station and riders will receive a gift by presenting a Metro coupon at the Heritage Square Museum.
At the Heritage Square Museum, walk the halls of the 1876 Perry Mansion, a fine Victorian home once considered the grandest in Los Angeles. See one of the world’s best preserved examples of arts and crafts architecture, the 1908 Gamble House. Stroll through a garden of unique native plants at the Lummis Home and Garden. Visit the Pasadena Museum of History and see the 1906 Beaux Arts Fenyes Mansion, one of the few remaining homes along Pasadena’s former Millionaires’ Row. For the first time this year there will be displays of LAPD memorabilia dating back to the 1800s at the Los Angeles Police Historical Museum.
Special events, storytellers, Victorian toys for kids to play with, historical exhibits, costumed docent tours, live music and crafts demonstrations will also highlight the day’s activities from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
