Heritage Square Museum

Established in 1969, this living history museum tells the story of the development of Southern California from a small pueblo into a bustling metropolis. Through guided tours of eight historic structures, changing exhibits and special events, Heritage Square takes its guests back in time to an era when 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 Activities:

  • Guests may observe a Spanish American War encampment

  • Watch traditional woodcarving and ironsmith demonstrations

  • Listen to historical storytellers

  • Hear live music

  • Children may play with Victorian games and make period crafts throughout the day

  • Costumed docents will be available in each building to answer questions

  • Visitors may also view “Lost to Progress: The Modernization of Los Angeles”, an exhibit looking at the significant changes that led to the eventual destruction of three distinct Los Angeles communities: Chinatown, Bunker Hill and Paolo Verde (Chavez Ravine)

  • Snacks and beverages will be available for purchase
