Ongoing Exhibit


Come by and visit us Saturdays 12 noon-4pm!

The La Habra High School Class of 1960 50th Reunion Exhibit is still available for viewing at the museum and see it before it is gone!



Go back in time and relive 1960 through photographs, music, and uniforms of the La Habra High School Highlanders.


Go further back in time and learn about life in early La Habra through the stories of people who tell their stories in the 1920s style theater.


Visit the General Store and see how many objects you can identify.



Wander through the main room and glimpse into our Widows in Time and learn about farming, early businesses, and home life.

If you are part of a Scout troop, or an organization with ties to La Habra, please call us to set up special tours of the museum.

There are lots of opportunities for volunteers, including docents to give tours, for people of all ages.

This is your museum! Come learn about your community and be part of its history.

Grand Opening Oct 9-10, 2010

We had a wonderfully fun opening weekend on the 9th and 10th.





The La Habra High School Class of 1960 had a great special exhibit for their 50th Reunion and tons of alumni stopped by to see the photos, articles, kilts, pompoms, and videos highlighting that memorable year.



The permanent exhibit's Windows in Time were also a hit with visitors as they remembered how the rooster in the Farm Window would wake them up in the morning; commented on how the typewriter in the Early Business Window looked so bulky and heavy compared to today's laptops; and how fashion hasn't changed all that much over the years looking at the Home Life Window's flapper dress and shoes. The large mural and mural timeline also added rich detail to La Habra's history.




The general store featured Brownie, the German shepherd who accompanied OT Stephens around town reminding businessmen to attend the Kiwanis meetings, and the theater showed an endless loop of videographies.

The museum will be open from 12 noon to 4 p.m. on Saturdays, so please stop by and see what everyone is talking about.
