Pomona Heritage Tour Event - June 18

 

 

Hello Neighbor,   Pomona Heritage is getting together on June 18th at 10:00am to get a private tour of the Workman and Temple Homestead and Museum (http://www.homesteadmuseum.org). The Homestead Museum is a place to explore the history of the Los Angeles region from 1830 to 1930. The six-acre site features the Workman House, an 1870s country home constructed around an 1840s adobe built by William and Nicolasa Workman; La Casa Nueva, a 1920s Spanish Colonial Revival mansion noted for its architectural crafts, built by the Workmans' grandson Walter Temple and his wife, Laura; and El Campo Santo, one of the region's oldest private cemeteries, containing the remains of Pío Pico, the last governor of Mexican California, and many other prominent pioneer families. Come and spend time with old and new friends and explore an interesting and unknown aspect of City of Industry. Admission is free! You are welcome to spend the entire day at the museum or after the tour share a meal with those who attended the tour at a local restaurant.
