      [Cancelled]

      Local historian Paul Ayers and his two-art history of the Mount Lowe Railway.

      By News Desk

      The Disneyland of its day!

      Mount Lowe Railway drew visitors from all over the nation and the world to little Altadena, a small town below the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains. Its story is not only a history of the resort itself; it is also a microcosm of America from the late 1800s to just before World War II.

      Paul Ayers is a retired attorney with a passion for Southern California history. This event is hosted by the Altadena Historical Society. Free to Historical Society members; donations accepted from other attendees.
