The Pasadena Heritage Society was established as a result of the Heritage Display at the 2012 Pasadena Come Home Year event. Based on the enthusiasm of visitors and the desire to capture our history before it is lost, the Heritage Society came to fruition as an advisory committee to the Town of Pasadena in April 2014. In December 2016, Town Council passed a motion to disband the heritage advisory committee. With a financial contribution from the 2018 Town Council, we remain committed to our mission and vision.
Our Mission:
