Pasadena Museum of History Named "City's Best Time Capsule"

by Pasadena Magazine

PMH is proud to be among "Our City's Best" honorees featured in the July 2010 issue of Pasadena magazine. This is the second consecutive "city's best" designation for the Museum, which was named "Best Historical Hideaway," in 2009. The magazine states: "For diehard Pasadena residents, this the the right place to test your knowledge of the City of Roses.  And for newbies, this is the right place to learn about its wonder and rich history."

 

 

Pasadena Museum of History offers a wide range of activities and programs designed to share the rich history of our community with adults and children of all ages. Tours of the Fenyes Mansion and Finnish Folk Art Museum, changing exhibits in the History Center Galleries, lectures and seminars, classes and workshops fill the calendar with a variety of intriguing, educational, and entertaining events.
