About Heritage Square Museum

Heritage Square Museum gathers historic buildings that were moved to the site to keep them from being demolished. The grounds show how Southern California grew from the late 1800s into the early 1900s and how everyday people lived during that era. Visitors can walk the landscaped grounds, picnic on the lawn, and visit the museum shop and garden. Paid interior tours take guests inside several of the buildings on weekends. The museum also hosts events such as movie nights, ghost tours, and holiday programs.
