HIGHLIGHTS
The Museum opened the Created Equal exhibit on March 21,
marking its first collaboration with First Avenue Middle School, in
celebration of the upcoming 250th anniversary of the United States.
The exhibit showcased 8th grade student artwork and highlighted
the Museum’s continued partnership with local schools through
creative, community-centered projects.
COLLECTIONS AND INTERNS
Volunteer Ms. Deborah Cordano continues to work on the Museum's Collection, specifically doing
an inventory of the Arcadia Historical Society Collection. She has now made an inventory of five
of the boxes in the collection. There are approximately 30 boxes in this collection.
Intern Mr. Zackary Ostrowski continues to work on the Arcadia Woman’s Club collection, adding
additional photographs and information to the Museum’s database, CatalogIt. He is also preparing
to graduate with his master’s in library science from UCLA this spring.
Volunteer Mr. Andrew Bermudez continues to support the Museum’s collections by digitizing and
cataloging items in CatalogIt. He has completed the additional portions of the Floretta K. Lauber
Collection and is now curating and tagging the objects. Mr. Bermudez also received the California
Association of Museums Conference Scholarship and attended the conference.
Volunteers Mr. Bob Levia and Mr. Pat Matsutani continue to help staff at the front desk every
Tuesday afternoon. They have been helping staff with educational kits for outreach and preschool
programs.
Volunteer Wendy Xiang continues to help the Museum staff on the weekends with different
projects. Ms. Xiang is responsible for helping the Museum transcribe its flyers into simplified
Chinese to accommodate the Arcadia Community.
Intern Justin Mercado continues to support the Preschool Program on Fridays with Museum
Education Coordinator Ms. Lauren Porras. Mr. Mercado is coming to the Museum from the
Southern California Resource Services for Independent Living (SCRS-IL) organization and has
been with the Museum for eight months.
City Intern Ms. Nicole Kreuzer has continued working on several projects at the Museum with the
Curator, including accessioning new artifacts for 2026 that have been donated or purchased. She
has also been assisting with research projects and attended the California Association of
Museums Conference with museum staff as the recipient of the CAM Scholarship.
2
The Museum is currently hosting two interns from the East Los Angeles Community College
Museum Studies Program for the Spring 2026 semester, Mr. CJ Polkinghorne and Ms. Karen
Perez. The interns are gaining hands-on experience with collections work, as well as the
construction and installation of exhibits at the Museum and throughout the City of Arcadia. Their
involvement has provided valuable support to staff while giving them practical experience in
several areas of museum work. Mr. Polkinghorne also received the California Association of
Museums Conference Scholarship and attended in March.
An inventory of all items donated during this time period:
Ms. Carolyn Tokarsky (Barton) donated items from her family’s business, known as the
Barton’s Wedding Carriage. Items included the uniform they wore, as well as photographs
and signs. Some of the photographs highlighted Ms. Shirley Temple Black when chosen
as the Grand Marshall for the 100th Celebration of the Tournament of Roses.
Ms. Darlene Bradley, Director of Library and Museum Services, donated her daughter’s
Arcadia Apaches Water Polo gym bag from Arcadia High School.
Ms. Karalee Natkasuka donated a Created Equal exhibit shirt and two Created Equal
posters. One of the posters was signed by all the students who participated in the exhibit.
Mr. Gene Glasco donated personal items from his time in the military, as well as items
from when he was the City Clerk for the City of Arcadia.
Mr. Earl Kramer, a retired firefighter, donated photographs from his personal collection as
a firefighter for the City of Arcadia in 1955.
Mr. Philip Dunham donated two Hollywood Park at Santa Anita Official Programs from
June 24, 1949.
EXHIBITS
The Museum collaborated with First Avenue Middle School teachers Ms. Karalee Nakasuka and
Ms. Erika Speed on the Created Equal exhibit. Featuring artwork by 8th-grade students in honor
of the upcoming 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, the exhibit
opened on March 21 with a reception at 1 p.m. The opening reception welcomed over 150
attendees. The exhibit was so well received by the community, that it was extended an additional
week until April 18. Ms. Nakasuka also led an online fundraiser which sold 38 shirts, with proceeds
benefiting the Friends of the Arcadia Museum. Museum volunteers also provided valuable support
for the Created Equal exhibit opening, assisting with photography as well as exhibit installation
and preparation.
Following the Created Equal exhibit, the Museum received 15 submissions for this 16th Annual
photography contest, themed Season in Frames. The exhibit will open on April 25 in the temporary
gallery and features an interactive component titled “Wish You Were Here,” where visitors can
engage by writing and sharing postcards to display. Mr. Douglas Hill will be judging the
submissions once again, with awards given for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners, along with an
honorable mention.
3
The ELAC Museum Intern Perez developed the lobby case exhibit on
the Ranchos of Santa Anita, with a focus on Victoria Barthamela, the
wife of Hugo Reid and the population growth of Mexicans during the
development of the City of Arcadia. Through research and exhibit
preparation, the intern helped highlight Victoria’s story and her role in
Arcadia’s early history. This project provided important hands-on
experience in exhibition development while contributing to a more
inclusive and expanded interpretation of the Rancho period.
CJ worked on deinstalling the Camp Santa Anita exhibit at City Hall
and helped prepare a new exhibit focused on past businesses in the
City of Arcadia. The new display highlights Barton’s Wedding
Carriage Business and helps share another piece of Arcadia’s local
commercial history with visitors.
ADMINISTRATION
Staff presented “The Little Museum that Could: Tiny Team, Mighty
Mission” at the California Association of Museums conference in
March to a full room, where it was very well received. Curator
Acevedo also began her new role on the California Association of
Museums Board of Directors following her orientation on February
4 and continued her involvement with the conference through the
programs committee. Coordinator Porras has also joined the CAM
Governing Committee, further strengthening the Museum’s
involvement at the state level. The team will also be attending the
upcoming Museum Educators of Southern California conference on
May 11 as part of its continued professional development and
engagement with the museum field.
Museum staff took the ELAC interns to the Arboretum Library for a learning visit. During the visit,
the interns met with the librarian Ms. Leena Waller, and were introduced to the library's collection
and research resources. They also observed how visitors organized and used the materials. The
visit gave them a better understanding of how another local institution cares for and shares its
collections, and they are planning to visit the Alhambra Historical Museum on April 24.
Staff participated in Derby Day 5K on April 4 as representatives
of the department. The Museum was also selected as a charity
partner for the event. This provided an opportunity to support a
community event while also increasing visibility for the Museum
and its programs.
Staff have been conducting interviews for the Museum’s Getty
summer interns and received a strong pool of applicants. The
team is currently in the administrative process of finalizing
selections and preparing for the summer program, which remains an important priority for
upcoming staffing and project support. Their workplan as well as interns selections must be
submitted to the Getty by May 1 before offering the position to the selected interns.
4
The Museum is currently undergoing security upgrades with
the installation of new cameras inside and outside of both the
Museum and the Museum Education Center. In addition, staff
now have updated keypads and key card access, helping to
strengthen security and improve access control across both
facilities.
A highlight for this period was one of the Museum’s youngest
volunteers, Mr. Deacon Terrill, independently purchasing a leaf
for the donor wall. He saved his own money to contribute,
demonstrating a strong sense of dedication and pride in
supporting the Museum. His gesture reflects the meaningful
connection volunteers have with the Museum and its mission.
EDUCATION and PROGRAMMING
The Museum’s educational kit program continued to see strong community engagement
throughout March and April. The Dinosaurs of Arcadia’s Past kit, available from January 13
through March 3, concluded its run, while the next kit, Arcadia’s First Settlers, was available on
March 10 and will remain available through May 5. These free kits continue to provide participants
with a short history lesson paired with hands-on activities. Staff also continued development of
upcoming kits, including Lucky Baldwin & the Wild West, which will be released in May. The
educational kit program remains a consistent point of interaction for visitors, with many individuals
stopping by the Museum to pick up kits and engage with Arcadia’s history.
The Museum continued offering both its Reel Reflections and Hidden Histories documentary
series as part of its film-based educational programming. Reel Reflections, currently being
presented as a three-month pilot program, welcomed seven participants to its March 11 screening
of From Little Tokyo to Crenshaw, followed by a cyanotype craft activity, while the April session
had one participant and featured a memory rock activity. As a new program, Reel Reflections
remains in its early stages of audience development, and staff will continue evaluating
participation as the pilot moves forward. Hidden Histories also continued on select Saturdays with
PBS programming focused on underrepresented stories from Southern California history;
however, these sessions had no participants. This has allowed staff to revisit the program’s
format, timing, and direction to better align with community interest and engagement.
The Museum’s Preschool Program is one of its most popular and consistently attended programs,
running weekly throughout the spring session and averaging 13 to 18 participants per week.
Designed for early learners, the program provides hands-on activities that introduce foundational
concepts through play, creativity, and interactive lessons. The final session of the series is
approaching and will feature a special visit from the Arcadia Police Department on April 24,
offering participants a unique opportunity to engage with local community helpers. The Preschool
Program remains a strong point of connection for families, fostering early engagement with the
Museum in a welcoming and accessible environment. The museum will continue to offer this
program in the fall.
5
The Museum continued its Preservation Workshop series,
offering both a Digitization class and, for the first time, an
Advanced Digitization class. The Digitization workshop
welcomed 14 participants, including many new faces, while
the new Advanced Digitization class had 12 participants.
This first time offering allowed participants to learn how to
digitize their own materials, use scanning equipment, and
practice hands-on techniques to better care for their
personal collections. Together, these workshops continued
to provide valuable guidance while expanding the Museum’s
preservation education offerings for the community.
The Museum welcomed approximately 150 students from Holly
Avenue Elementary School for their annual field trip on March
18. Students rotated through five stations every 20 minutes,
allowing them to engage with a variety of hands-on learning
experiences throughout their visit. Activities included an
excavation station, a Tongva lesson, a museum tour, a talk at
the Hugo Reid statue, and a Then vs. Now artifact comparison
lesson. Volunteers Mr. Bob Leiva, Ms. Deborah Cordano, and
Ms. Melia Valentine, along with FAM Board Member Ms. Maria
Levia, also assisted with crowd management and overall
Museum operations throughout the visit. This large-scale field
trip reflects the Museum’s ongoing partnership with local schools and its commitment to providing
interactive, place-based educational experiences for Arcadia students.
For outreach, the Museum participated in both the Los Angeles County Arboretum’s Spring Fling
event on April 3. The Museum also hosted a table at the event, where 75 frog crafts were
distributed to attendees. The Museum also participated in the Arcadia Public Library Arcadia Goes
Green event on April 11, continuing its efforts to engage with the community beyond the Museum
site. At Arcadia Goes Green, staff distributed 100 educational kits with a frog-themed craft activity.
These outreach opportunities allowed the Museum to connect with families in community-
centered spaces while extending hands-on educational activities to a wider audience.
VOLUNTEERS
The Museum’s volunteer program continued to play an important role in
supporting both daily operations and special events. Five volunteers
qualified for the City’s Volunteer Appreciation Dinner, recognizing their
service and dedication. During the event, Mr. Dharmik Ajish won a
Slushie Ninja, and Mr. Tergel Enkhtur won a $100 gift card, making it a
fun and celebratory evening for those in attendance.
In addition, volunteers have remained busy assembling educational kits
and creating props for the Preschool Program. Looking ahead, they will
continue assisting with preparations for the next educational kit and the
upcoming Firefighters Pancake Breakfast Kit. Coordinator Porras will
also be opening applications for Teen Leads in the upcoming month.

REPORTS FROM MUSEUM COMMISSION MEMBERS/LIAISONS:
Reports from Liason Blitz included a remembrance for past Commissioner Janalee Shimmin at the Arboretum,
where a tree was dedicated in her honor. Additionally, Commissioner Dale Carter pointed out a small detail in
the Library display regarding the Santa Anita Depot, which staff appreciated and was able to correct.
REPORT FROM THE DIRECTOR
The Director informed staff of her plans to retire in June. Staff is also currently working through the budget
process for the upcoming fiscal year, while noting several additional City updates, including the departure of
Children’s Librarian Petra Morris, the recognition of Sharon Kwan, and the transition to new Mayor Eileen
Wang.
REPORT FROM THE CURATOR
Curator Acevedo notified the Commission of the collections, exhibits, and administrative work that remained
active throughout this period. Volunteers and interns continued supporting collections management through
inventory, digitization, cataloging, and database work, including projects related to the Arcadia Historical
Society Collection, Arcadia Woman’s Club Collection, and the Floretta K. Lauber Collection. Additional
volunteer support also helped with front desk coverage, educational kits, flyer translation into simplified
Chinese, and exhibit panel translation for the Museum’s website. The Museum also benefited from intern
support in preschool programming, digitization, and accessioning new artifacts. Several new donations were
received, including materials related to Santa Anita, the Pacific Electric Railway, Boy Scouts, and Arcadia Little
League.
On the exhibit side, staff uninstalled the Little League exhibit from the Arcadia Public Library and closed the
Camp Santa Anita exhibit on January 17. Staff then installed the Lunar New Year exhibit, which opened on
February 7 and featured loaned items from community members, including a hand-embroidered wedding dress
and paintings. Planning was also underway for the Created Equal exhibit in collaboration with First Avenue
Middle School teachers, with an opening scheduled for March 21.
Administratively, staff continued working closely with the Friends of the Arcadia Museum, attended community
and school district events, and promoted Museum programs and exhibits through local partnerships. The City’s
new website launched on January 16, with updated Museum pages prepared by Curator Acevedo. Staff also
strengthened internship pipelines through meetings with East Los Angeles Community College and California
Resource Services for Independent Living. In addition, staff prepared their CAM conference presentation,
supported America 250 planning efforts, and expanded the Museum’s visibility through regional networking
and professional engagement.
REPORT FROM MUSEUM EDUCATION COORDINATOR
Coordinator Porras informed the Commission that the Museum offered a range of educational programs,
school visits, and new community initiatives. On January 17, the Girl Scout program Celebrating Communities
welcomed 12 participants, and a Cub Scout Dino Excavation program was scheduled for February 21. Staff
also completed five school programs at Hugo Reid Elementary and Highland Oaks Elementary, and prepared
for Holly Avenue’s annual March 18 field trip with about 150 students in attendance. On February 11, the
Museum launched Reel Reflections, a new monthly film discussion program designed to build community
engagement through PBS films and guided reflection. The Preschool Program began on February 13 with 13
children in attendance and 16 new registrations, and its popularity has prompted staff to consider expanding
supplies and learning materials. Hidden Histories also returned to Saturday programming, featuring PBS
documentaries that highlight underrepresented stories in Southern California history. The first Preservation
Workshop of the year took place on February 28, with 8 participants, and introduced a new focus on
collectibles and memorabilia care. Staff also prepared for outreach events, including Lunar New Year at the
Arboretum and Arcadia Goes Green at the Arcadia Library. Volunteers supported these efforts by assembling
hundreds of kits, goodie bags, and event materials, while the Museum also welcomed several new teen and
adult volunteers. From January 1 through February 18, volunteers contributed 436.67 hours of service.
