Heritage Square Museum
Los Angeles – Beginning August 1st at 9:30 AM continuing every Saturday through August 29th, Heritage Square Museum hosts free classes in history, architecture, period fashion and much, much more. Set among the historic architecture on display at the museum, students will learn hands-on what makes a home Victorian, best practices for preservation, and other essential skills.
Learn how and why Los Angeles went from a tiny pueblo in 1850 into a bustling metropolis by 1900. Discover the fun, sometimes seedy, always interesting facts at Heritage Square’s volunteer training. Volunteer opportunities include museum guiding, research, historic interpretation, heirloom gardening and more during this six Saturday morning course.
As the museum reaches out to new audiences, bilingual Spanish and Chinese speaking volunteers are especially needed. Volunteering at the museum helps to connect the current generation of young and old alike with a history often forgotten in the textbooks. For more information, contact the museum offices at (323) 225-2700, extension 222.
