Young visitors with an accompanying adult are invited to step back in time through a special, immersive tour of the 1906 Fenyes Mansion. Experience the lifestyle of the Fenyes family including early 20th century dress, technology, manners, and play.

and try their skills at vintage games. Lemonade and cookies will be served following the tour, and each child will take home a copy of the book The Way Pasadena Was by Kathleen Thorne-Thompson, with pictures and stories of Pasadena one-hundred years ago (a $12.95 value).
