-

Photos by D.Marquis


BEING A NATIVE BORN LOS ANGELENO I'VE HAD OPPORTUNITIES TO VISIT THE LA BREA TARPITS MUSEUM NEAR THE MID WILSHIRE DISTRICT IN L.A. I REMEMBER THE FIRST TIME I VISITED ON A SCHOOL FIELD TRIP AS I YOUNG CHILD AND PERHAPS TWICE AS AN ADULT. EACH TRIP WAS ALWAYS VERY FASCINATING AND I ALWAYS FELT FORTUNATE TO LIVE IN A CITY WITH SUCH RICH HISTORY.


GET AN EARLY START: THE PARK MUSEUM HOSTS LOTS OF FIELD TRIPS DURING THE WEEK AND FAMILIES ON THE WEEKEND.

YOU'LL BE ABLE TO SEE THE NATURAL TAR THAT BOILS FROM UNDER THE GROUND THAT COLLECT IN THESE "PITS" - HENCE THE NAME.

MANY THOUSANDS OF YEARS AGO PREHISTORIC ANIMALS WOULD VENTURE INTO THESE PITS THINKING THEY WERE WATERING HOLES AND BECOME STUCK IN THE TAR AND PERISH .

THE GEORGE PAGE MUSEUM IS DEFINITELY WORTH A VISIT AS YOU'LL BE ABLE TO GET IN DEPTH INFORMATION ON THE TARPITS AS WELL AS THE PLANTS AND ANIMALS THAT WERE FOUND IN THIS CITY LONG BEFORE IT WAS A CITY.
