Mervyn's Moving Mission

November 30, 2002

11:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m.

Autry Museum

Visit this special education program located in a 72-foot tractor-trailer in front of the museum. The Mervyn's Moving Mission truck tours the Los Angeles area to bring the history of the California Missions to fourth-grade students. Explore the truck for free while it is parked at the Autry Museum on the last Saturday of every month. While on board, you can handle reproductions of artifacts to find out what daily life was like on the missions. Learn about Native people who have lived in California for generations through theatre presentations, lectures, storytelling, crafts and games. Autry Museum admission is not included.
