This year's gathering will be held at the McPherson Home, 1075 Topeka Street, built by David McPherson, chief engineer and designer of the Mt. Lowe Railway. Cost is $10 for members, $20 for non-members, and memberships and renewals can be handled onsite. Make reservations to: altadenaheritage@earthlink.net, or call 626-993-5338.
