CALIFORNIA HISTORY CONNECTIONS
Adamson House
A magnificent home on the water in Malibu, this historic site is a particularly fine example of the use of Malibu tile since the owners were the manufacturers. In addition, there is a small museum here with information about the indigenous tribes and the early settlers. If you are interested in tile work, this is a must-see.

Wells Fargo History Museum
Visit the Los Angeles branch of the Wells Fargo Museums and see highlights of the company's role in Southern California. This website also links to Wells Fargo Museums across the country to give you a feel for the part Wells Fargo played in the westward movement of our country. A great resource for 4th grade teachers and a possible extension after a visit to the Children's Literature Department of our Central Library.
