Late Night Thursdays
You’re invited to Late-Night Thursdays at the Museum during the month of August. The Museum will extend the hours until 7:00 PM, and treats will be served each Thursday. Visit with volunteer historians – Paul Wisman, LeRoy Jackson, and Mike the Map Man. They will share ephemera, photos, stories, maps, and more!
Thursday, August 14 – Wilson Park – Naval Annex
The Naval Annex was used as an auxiliary storage facility to the Long Beach Naval Station. When the Navy announced plans to close that base as of June 1974, the city of Torrance began its active pursuit of the property. Stop by to learn more!
