Join us for a tour led by Las Angelitas del Pueblo volunteers and LACHS members Marilyn Lee Schneider and Don Sloper. We'll take an hour-long easy walk around El Pueblo de Los Angeles Historical Monument, the birthplace of the City of Los Angeles, where 44 settlers from New Spain (present-day Mexico) established a farming community under Spanish-colonial rule on September 4, 1781. Some of the sites we’ll visit are:

El Pueblo boasts the greatest range of architectural styles found anywhere in Los Angeles in one place. The monument exists as a living testament to the diversity of Los Angeles, highlighting the earliest communities that contributed to the city's development.
