Heritage Square Museum, Open-air history museum in Mount Washington, Los Angeles, United States
Heritage Square Museum is an open-air museum in Los Angeles featuring eight preserved buildings from the period between 1876 and 1899. The structures were moved here from different locations around the city to display the architectural styles of that era.
The buildings originally stood in different parts of Los Angeles before being relocated to this site. They were brought together in the 1960s to save them from demolition and create this museum.
