Your Museum Community is working hard to bring about a great Museum of history and culture for the entire San Fernando Valley. Among our goals is the building of support for historical re-enactment events throughout the Valley. Here Gary Fredburg (arms crossed) and Shel Weisbach (behind lady with the dog), Museum Board Members help out at the 150th Anniversary of the Butterfield Stage at Campo de Cahuenga.

Members of the Museum Community have begun work on the mapping and creation of tours of the NoHo Historic District. Shel Weisbach and Richard Hilton are our expects on the physical tour. Arturo Perez and Steve Sedlic will work on the kiosk, virtual and internet educational aspects. Michael Stevens will focus on bringing civic and corporate sponsorship of the project.

You can help us with the big undertaking by: supplying historic and present day photographs of present day North Hollywood, giving us tips about historic sites, sending us contact persons.

The San Fernando Valley deserves a great Museum of history and culture.
