Established in 1969, this living history museum reflects the settlement and development of Southern California from 1850 to 1950.  Through guided tours, changing exhibits and special events, Heritage Square Museum takes its guest back in time to eras where electricity was a novelty, a trip to the beach was often a full-weekend activity and manners were distinctly different from those of today.

MOTA Day 2008 Activities:

  • Guests can observe a Spanish American War encampment, watch traditional woodcarving demonstrations and listen to historical storytellers as well as enjoy music
     
  • Children can play with Victorian toys and do crafts
     
  • Costumed docents will lead tours of the houses; visitors can also create freehand sketches of live horses, courtesy of the Rose Bowl Riders.
     
  • Visitors can tour the current exhibition “Fashion on a Plate” which features more than 40 rare fashion images, vintage clothing and accessories form the 1880s through the 1930s.
