The La Verne Historical Society unveiled its first-ever public display at the La Verne Library July 9—and it's one worth seeing before it comes down.

"A Walk Through La Verne's History" traces the City's story from its Lordsburg roots to present-day La Verne through historical photos and informational panels. Historical Society President Sherry Best led visitors through the exhibit at the unveiling, pointing out pieces that bring the City's past to life.

The occasion drew Mayor Tim Hepburn and representatives from the offices of Los Angeles County Supervisor Kathryn Barger, U.S. Rep. Gil Cisneros, State Assembly Member John Harabedian, and State Sen. Susan Rubio.

The display is part of the Route 66 & America 250 Celebrations and runs through the end of September during regular library hours.
