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
