The Conservancy is proud to participate in l L.A. Heritage Day on Sunday, April 14. Presented by the Los Angeles Heritage Alliance, this festival-type event seeks to reconnect the public with greater Los Angeles’ vast range of cultural institutions and resources.

With dozens of participating preservation organizations, museums, and historical societies, L.A. Heritage Day offers something for everyone, including:

Historic cars on display

Over 75 booths

5 museums

Free tours

Activities for kids

Good food

For an area widely misperceived as having no "real" history, our region has more than 200 historical organizations, societies, and museums dedicated to preserving and promoting the rich and varied histories, industries, and individuals that helped Southern California become the place it is today.

The L.A. Heritage Alliance was formed in 2008 to help these groups leverage their efforts through workshops, networking, and events such as Heritage Day.

Admission is FREE!

Getting There

El Pueblo Historical Monument is located at across from Union Station, near Olvera Street. Many of the booths will be located inside the landmark Pio Pico House at 424 N. Main Street, Los Angeles.

Parking is limited, but there are two great alternatives:

Go Metro: Ride the train to Union Station and walk across the street.

One Bunker Hill
Grand Avenue and 5th Street, Downtown

Also known as the Southern California Edison Company Building, this was one of the first all-electrically heated and cooled buildings built in the western United States. The fourteen-story steel frame building boasts the classic Art Deco style that is apparent throughout, with spandrels containing a cubic art deco pattern on the façade, and impressive murals in the lobby.
