On Thursday, June 16, at 12 p.m., come to the Museum Education Center and hear Michael Abrams, Docent of the Gamble House, speak on the highlights of this magnificent house. The Gamble House is a National Historic Landmark, a California Historical Landmark, and a museum in Pasadena. It is also known for its American Arts and Crafts architecture, designed by Charles and Henry Greene in 1908.
The free Lunchtime Talks are a great way to learn snippets of local history and meet some interesting people too. Bring your lunch or just come and listen and learn about some local treasures right here in the San Gabriel Valley. After the Lunchtime Talk, visit the Gilb Museum of Arcadia Heritage right next door and see the newest exhibit “The Eighth Annual Juried Photography Contest” featuring photography depicting the theme “Black and White.” This exhibit will run through July 9.
