Heritage Square Museum

Heritage Square Museum is having a designer showcase house to combine with their annual Christmas event. You may have driven by these houses on your way down the 110 to go to LA, I know I have driven by many times and always said "I must go there someday". Well, "someday" finally came about 3 months ago, I took my nephew to see them. He loves history and architecture, he's definitely been under my influence. ; ) They houses are amazing. They have 3 homes that are fully furnished and restored beautifully. The details are exquisite. Too bad we don't make homes like that anymore. They also have an Octagon house. There aren't very many of these left in the United States. The fact that they have one is quite a coux for them. They are still restoring that one but there's enough that you can imagine what it would be like to live in it. There are other buildings there as well, including a church and a train depot. Every year for Christmas, they do a special event and turn the homes into living museums with actors in period dress, and dancing and discussing important events of the day. This year they are adding something extra, they have a group of designers who have volunteered to add their special touch to these festivities. Yours truly is lucky enough to be one of them. We can't compromise the authenticity of the building but there's a lot we can do. Put it on your calendar....This is your "round tuit" It will be a great event. htttp://heritagesquare.org
