Explore historic Union Station—on foot

The Studio for Southern California History, located in the heart of Chinatown, is a non-profit community resource dedicated to sharing our region’s colorful social history as a way to help modern-day Angelenos rediscover a sense of place.

Where better to start than Union Station, opened in 1939 as one of North America’s last, and grandest, old-fashioned railway stations?

On Saturday, April 2, from 10:00 a.m.–noon, the Studio will host a free walking tour exploring not just Union Station, but also the rich history of the communities and rail lines that predate its construction. Meet at the front entrance on Alameda, but you need to RSVP with the names and number of guests, either by phone at (213) 229-8890, or by email at [email protected].
