"Pasadena Museum of History, Pasadena. The Pasadena Museum of History is a hidden gem in Pasadena. You might live here for most of your life and never venture past its gates. But if you do, you won't be sorry. You'll find a peaceful series of tree-canopied pathways. There is a little cottage holding an assortment of Finnish folk art. And there is a stunning white house overlooking hte grounds. Even if you don't go in the museums, I recommend wandering through the grounds. It is peaceful, solitary, and calm. But you should go inside and see whatever exhibition is current. A trip here will enlarge your view of Pasadena and give you a greater appreciation of the history all around."
