The
Workman and Temple Family Homestead Museum created this year’s
Community Kids Day booklet, and helped to supervise the smooth
operation of all aspects of this special day. This year, in
conjunction with the La Puente Valley Historical Society, they once
again will offer some special activities for Rodeo fans to introduce
the history of the Rodeo and its place in early California history.
Just as the Rodeo reminds us of our rich Western heritage, the
Homestead Museum helps us to link the past, present, and future
through a variety of programs that educate and entertain. The museum
features the Workman House, a Victorian-era home constructed around an
1840s adobe; La
Casa Nueva, a 1920s Spanish Colonial Revival mansion, and
El Campo Santo,
one of the oldest private cemeteries in Southern California. The
Museum is open for free public tours Wednesday-Sunday from 1 to 4 p.m.
(guided tours depart on the hour). The Museum is closed Mondays,
Tuesdays and major holidays. For more information, call (626) 968-8492
or visit
