Who knew!?Apparently, the San Fernando Valley - that large portion of the City of LA north of Mulholland - has a regional museum focused on Valley History and culture. Their website leaves something to be desired, but they are inviting the entire community to attend an open house at something called "Museum Sundae." I like free things - and ice cream sundaes - so I might check it out. I'm really interested in seeing this collection of Mayor Bradley's photos, and they're previewing an exhibit on W.P. Whitsett, who was the founder of Van Nuys in 1911 (and was quoted as saying about the Valley in 1951: "We build a city a month out here."). He also was the first chairman of the Metropolitan Water District, which should not be confused with the LA DWP.
The Museum is on the campus of Valley College on Burbank Boulevard and the free event will be from 1pm to 4pm (more info is at their site here.
Now, what about a museum for ALL of Los Angeles on history and culture?
