Growing Up on Millionaire’s Row is promising to be an exciting interactive tour experience exclusively designed for young visitors along with their adult companions.
Brad Macneil, Pasadena Museum of History’s education director, explains:
This is the first public tour of Fenyes Mansion interpreted especially for youth. It was developed based on our extensive experiences with students who visit the Museum during class field trips to participate in Pasadena Museum of History’s award-winning ‘Junior Docents’ and ‘My Masterpieces’ programs.
Youngsters will meet the family that lived in the historic 1906 Beaux Arts-style mansion and explore their lifestyle – dress, technology, manners, and play.
