Heritage Square Museum Marks 9/11 Anniversary With Day of Service

The museum is partnering with the Volunteer Center of Los Angeles and New Directions to honor the anniversary with a day of service by cleaning up the museum’s parking lot before it opens for business. The day of service clean-up will be held from 9 a.m. to noon on Sunday, September 11.

Also, museum visitors can donate $25 to the museum’s Preservation Through Practice (PTP) program. The educational program, which launched in 2010, has made a significant impact on the lives of military veterans as they have received hands-on training in the techniques of historic preservation and restoration. All visitors who donate will receive an American flag that they can place around the museum’s box car to honor the veterans, as well as those lives that were touched on that day.
