#MESCrecommends: Historic Walking Tour of Van Nuys

  • The Museum of the San Fernando Valley 18860 Nordhoff Street Northridge, CA, 91324 United States (map)

Come explore a town that is yet to be fully appreciated! On this walking tour, you will see original 1911 buildings hidden beneath modern facades, first churches, a civic center with unique revelations, Los Angeles Historic Cultural Monuments, and much more! This experience will teach you about the origins of the Daily News and a company which was a nationwide maker of silent movie theatre organs. Who were Hobart Johnstone Whitley, Wayne E. Bechtelheimer and Whitley Van Nuys Huffaker? Re-live "Wednesday Nights on Van Nuys Boulevard." We will have historic photographs and stories to share as we wander this surprisingly historic San Fernando Valley treasure.

Cost: $10
