La Habra Spotlight: The La Habra Historical Museum

There is something particularly magical about visiting a museum, especially in these uncertain times. According to an article by Rebecca Carlsson , museums can act as an anchor that ties our community together and help us learn and grow from the past. Visiting museums could be more important than ever before as we continue to adapt to life after COVID-19. 

While La Habra isn’t known for being a hub for museums, La Habra Historical Museum is one of our favorite museums in Orange County. Not only does the museum continuously change to offer new exhibits, but their permanent collections also change to adapt to the times. If you’re looking for a new place to explore and learn about California history, La Habra Historical Museum is the place for you. Here’s why.

According to one reviewer on Tripadvisor , the La Habra Historical Museum is reminiscent of the museums you can find in Boston. With elegant and quaint architecture, the museum is beautiful to look at and, although small, offers a full history of La Habra from the Native Americans to the present day.

On top of permanent exhibits , La Habra Historical Museum updates their current collections to reflect the month. For example, in April, they feature special exhibits with information all about La Habra’s annual Citrus Fair in April. Similarly, they offer information about the annual Corn Festival in August. 

Offering relevant information, these exhibits answer questions about why these two events are celebrated, as well as why they’re celebrated as a fair and festival.
