Heritage Square Museum is a small cultural institution based in Los Angeles, California, that preserves eight rescued historic structures. The site provides guided tours, exhibits, events, ongoing restoration work, and educational programs to illuminate a period when electricity was a novelty and beach outings could take a full weekend. Through the preserved buildings and their arrangements, the museum illustrates how daily life and customs in Southern California have evolved over time. The museum operates within the Museums, Historical Sites, and Zoos sector, focusing on public education and heritage interpretation. Its programming centers on helping visitors understand the regional history of Southern California by engaging with restored architecture and historically themed displays. Located in Los Angeles, the institution serves audiences seeking insight into the region's past and the processes of preservation.
