NEAT OLD IMAGES OF THE MISSION SAN FERNANDO
CHERISHING OUR VALLEY 2012
Museum supporters, Gary Fredburg and Fred Berk have been systematically building The Museum's collection of historic and vintage postcards for the last three years. When you visit The Museum's exposition space at Westfield Fashion Square in Sherman Oaks, you'll see many good examples of their effort.
Here are some great vintage postcards of the Mission San Fernando Rey de España in the Valley's Mission Hills, in The Museum's collection. (Click on the images to enlarge them.)
