Claremont Heritage provides educational programs such as film series, symposia and tours that help inform community members about the wonderful resources that we have. We offer a third grade history program available to local schools that fulfills a California State mandated requirement, and collaborate with other community groups as we strive to preserve Claremont's unique sense of place and cultural heritage for future generations to experience. Our goal is to celebrate and honor the past in order to inspire the future, and play an active part a community that will be as amazing tomorrow as it is today.
