Fenyes Mansion gives Pasadena history a front door
Pasadena Museum of History uses Fenyes Mansion tours, changing exhibits, and local collections to explain the city's older civic, arts, and home-history story.
Pasadena has big-name architecture all over town, but Fenyes Mansion gives the older story a clear front door. It is part of Pasadena Museum of History.
The museum uses tours, exhibits, and collections to connect the city’s homes, arts, civic life, and local families. The mansion tour is not the same as wandering through an open house; access depends on the current tour schedule.
Check the museum’s official visit page before going. Tour days, tickets, and exhibits can change, and the best visit is the one that matches what is actually open that week.
