Originally a barley field, Van Nuys became a prosperous center of City Government, agriculture, and industry.
Come explore what remains to be appreciated: original 1911 buildings hidden beneath modern facades, first churches, a civic center with many special revelations, the Women's Club building, Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monuments, and National Register of Historic Places Monument #2509.
Learn about the origin of the Daily News and the company which was a nationwide maker of silent movie theatre organs. Who were Hobart Johnstone Whitley, Wayne E. Bechtelheimer, and Whitley Van Nuys Huffaker? Relive "Wednesday Nights on Van Nuys Boulevard." We will also have historic photographs and stories to share as we wander this surprisingly historic San Fernando Valley treasure.
