This new fall excursion begins at what has been called “one of California’s true historic treasures” by the Smithsonian, inviting you to discover the remarkable roots of Southern California craftsmanship. You’ll be amazed by the tranquil, six-acre Workman and Temple Family Homestead estate and museum, an oasis nestled in among the busy streets of the City of Industry. A docent-guided tour will provide a fascinating glimpse into Southern California’s vibrant past from the time that California was part of Mexico through the Roaring Twenties. Walk through the Workman House, a picturesque Victorian-era country house constructed around an original 1840s adobe, and explore La Casa Nueva, a breathtaking 1920s Spanish Colonial Revival mansion celebrated for its exquisite architectural crafts, custom tilework, and period details. From historic architecture to modern makers, that spirit of craftsmanship comes alive this afternoon at Claremont’s annual Village Venture Arts & Crafts Festival. Now in its 44th year, this beloved, one-day, open-air festival celebrates the spirit of autumn in a truly spectacular way. Get a head start on your holiday shopping as you stroll along Claremont’s scenic, tree-lined streets, browsing over 400 vibrant booths filled with unique art, handcrafted home goods, original crafts, festive apparel, and goodies galore created by talented artisans and craftspeople from near and far. Claremont’s quaint “New England-style” heritage, lovingly established by the town’s founders, shines through the charming, locally owned boutiques, galleries, and restaurants that anchor its historic downtown area – the quintessential setting for this wonderful seasonal event. Enjoy approximately three hours at leisure to soak up lively free entertainment, browse the bustling vendor booths and downtown specialty shops, and savor a delightful lunch on your own at one of the cozy downtown cafés or the festival’s international food court. And to top off the day, we’ll send you home with a delicious, sweet treat from one of Claremont's favorite local bakeries! This tour involves moderate walking.
