Heritage Square Museum is a Los Angeles treasure. Located along the Arroyo Seco in Lincoln Heights, Heritage Square features eight historic structures that were constructed in the Victorian Era. Through the ongoing restoration of these buildings, this living history museum strives to fulfill its mission, which is “to preserve, collect, and interpret the architecture, physical environment, and culture of Southern California during the first 100 years of statehood, (1850 to 1950).” A variety of examples of the architecture of the period, from simple homes to opulent mansions, are on display. In addition to family residences, there is a church, a carriage barn, and the recreation of a corner drugstore, complete with vintage soda fountain.
