2010 THE YEAR OF VALLEY ADVENTURES
The Museum of the San Fernando Valley celebrated the beginning of the Holiday Season with a big walking tour success. Museum Tour Program Director, and today's docent, Richard Hilton led 37 intourists on an exploration of the Van Nuys Civic Center and arranged for perfect touring weather.
Thanks to everyone who helped and joined The Museum Community for the day.

"plaque" is wonderful--all in original tiles believed to be Batchelder.
Walk if off is right!! What a wonderful and interesting way to do it! Learned so many interesting things. Thank you Richard and Gerald for sharing so generously!

The tour was great! I can't wait for the next one, I learned so much. Too often I drive by the Valley's history without appreciating what's around me - including the wonderful business owners like Luigi of Luigi's Tailoring. I loved meeting him.
The walking tour was a great way to appreciate our history.
Thank you!
