Walking/Driving Tours:
Because we are not having our monthly walking tours due to the Coronavirus restrictions, we thought you might want to get out of the house and explore our history firsthand. We will post various self-driving/walking tours periodically.  
 
This week we are featuring a printable, self-guided walking tour of the art + architecture on the Claremont College Campuses - please note, not all buildings will be open but there is still plenty that is accessible to view. Please view it HERE.  Download the PDF and print it out....  A great way to spend the afternoon - take a picnic and enjoy the beauty Our Town has to offer! 
 
You can also view other tours virtually, such as Village Walking Tour directly on our website - Link HERE
 
 
Claremont Heritage needs your support now  
more than ever!
In everyone's best interest, we have cancelled our Annual Awards Gala in May. This event is one of our signature programs, and accounts for almost 1/3 of our annual program budget. It allows us to raise the funds necessary to support our mission and carry out our work. Without this much needed revenue, we may be unable to continue some of the vital initiatives, such as our Third Grade Local History Program, the Mexican Players Documentary etc. You can help by engaging with us in new and different ways, or by making a donation today.  
 
Will you consider making a donation to offset the lack of revenues? Any amount will help, and is very much appreciated!
