LOS ANGELES MAGAZINE CALLS MUSEUM WALKING TOUR "WORTH THE TRIP"

"VALLEY HO

The Museum of the San Fernando Valley is the at the idea stage. For now there's the Historic North Hollywood Tour. Meet at the statue of Amelia Earhart (a one-time Valley resident) at the the North Hollywood Recreation Center where historian Richard Hilton leads walkers on a two-and-a-half hour trip replete with tales of long-gone ranchers (Lankershim was a busy guy). 

The brochure alone - filled with archival photos taken by the Weddingtons, one of the region's most influential families - is worth the trip. - Bi-monthly. Saturdays at 10 am. $10 donation, reservations required/requested: www.TheMuseumSFV.org/events/tours.

"Do Walking Tours - Ramble around town - and through history - with your feet as your engine - by Kari Mozina.

"It may be an odd assertion to make about a city so closely associated with the automobile, but of the most revelatory was to experience LA is on foot. ... Clip on the pedometer, grab a water bottle, and lace up your sneakers to travel across the cityscape and back to another era."
