Sightseeing

Highland Park was its own many years ago. It has a super colorful past as it is one of the oldest inhabited areas of LA. From the Southwest Museum to the Arroyo to Route 66, the E-Bell Club, and all the historic homes, murals, and buildings in HLP you'll definitely find a lot of cool places and interesting history!
