INTRODUCING NEW WAYS TO SEE L.A.!

Los Angeles County is filled with historic gems. From neighborhoods to buildings, from modern architecture to the Art Deco style; it's all here and waiting to be discovered. Now is the time to experience historic Los Angeles on a walking tour.

The Conservancy is proud to announce additions to our Walking Tour Program to help foster preservation advocacy and education throughout L.A. County.

The 2009 tour program encompasses our signature docent-led tours, new audio and print self-guided tours, and a new Tour Partners Program. Please see the pages linked below for more information. We hope to see you on a tour soon!

As one of the most visible and recognizable programs of the Los Angeles Conservancy, the Walking Tour Program is a primary outreach tool to future constituents of the Conservancy and of historic preservation.

Through informative and engaging walking tours, the program strives to:

  • Create awareness of the built environment and architectural resources, to encourage a stake-holder ethic across the socio-economic and generational spectrum of Southern California residents.
  • Engage interest in the history and future of Los Angeles through interpretation of its historic resources to build a constituency for preservation.
  • Promote individual involvement in preservation advocacy, including membership in the Conservancy.
  • Inspire current members, volunteers, and supporters of the Conservancy to greater involvement
  • Remain affordable, high-quality, and diverse; both in terms of topics covered and delivery methods.
  • Serve as a hub for historic preservation education in Los Angeles County.

Major funding for the Los Angeles Conservancy's educational programs is provided by the Kenneth T. and Eileen L. Norris Foundation.
