October 25 @ 3pm: Our Annual Fall Walking Tour

Exploring Altos de Monterey

This year, we’ll explore the midcentury neighborhood of Altos de Monterey. With its winding streets, panoramic views, and distinctive architecture, the neighborhood tells the story of South Pasadena’s postwar expansion. Developed in the 1960s, it transformed the city’s rugged southwestern hills into its largest modern residential development, a striking contrast to South Pasadena’s well-known Victorian and Craftsman neighborhoods.

A reception will follow, featuring refreshments, libations, light bites, and an opportunity to mingle.

Two walking tour tickets per year are included with membership. Non-members are also invited and very welcome to join us for $25 per person.

Member Appreciation Event

Join us for an exclusive unveiling of the newly renovated upstairs exhibition space at the South Pasadena Historical Museum, an area that has been closed to the public for many years!

Enjoy wine, cocktails, and hors d’oeuvres as we thank our members for their continued support and give you a first look at what we’ve been working on.

Explore exhibits featuring South Pasadena school history, vintage clothing, local industries, Japanese American internment during World War II, postwar life, Cold War memorabilia, historic domestic technology, agricultural tools, and selections from our archives. Downstairs, discover our new exhibit on the 710 Freeway fight.

Stay tuned! Date and event details will be announced soon.
