Huell Howser - He Will Be Missed Places Earth would like to honor the passing of the great California explorer, Huell Howser. I did not know Huell personally, although I met him once, but many people in California knew him through his countless television explorations into California history, geography, and people. A recent country song said something like, “it’s not what you take with you, but what you leave behind, when you go.” The song continues, “the teacher left her knowledge in the minds of many children...” Huell didn’t pass along his knowledge, he helped us to acquire that knowledge together. Countless people know more about California than we would have had Huell stayed in Tennessee, but had he stayed in Tennessee, we would know a lot more about Tennessee. Huell didn’t inspire this website, nor introduce me to all the places here, but he introduced me to many of them. Now we are all on our own again. State Parks, Historic Sites, and Museums need your help. Throughout the country, state parks, historic sites, museums, and similar institutions are struggling to continue operating. Because of general financial problems, many of these institutions are operating on a reduced schedule or in danger of closing. Some are being forced to sell off artifacts and property. Many will not weather these hard times without your help. Places Earth urges everyone to support these vital and important public resources any way you can. Please donate your treasure, time, and talent. Write to your governor and other elected officials telling them to find a way to keep state parks open. It will be your loss.

From 1910 until the 1960s, The Los Angels County Art Museum was part of the Los Angeles County Museum of Science, History, and Art in Exposition Park. On April 1, 1965, Los Angeles County Museum of Art moved to its new home on Wilshire Boulevard along the Miracle Mile in Hancock Park. LACMA, as it is popularly called, became an independent art-focused institution in 1961 and moved to the Hancock Park location in 1965. Originally three buildings opened, the Ahmanson, the Hammer, and the Bing. Later, the Japanese Pavilion and B. Gerald Cantor Sculpture Garden of Rodin bronzes both opened in 1988. The Anderson joined the complex displaying Modern and Contemporary Art . About 2000, LACMA West was added when the museum acquired the former May Company building two blocks west at the corner of Wilshire and Fairfax. Plans are underway to completely rebuild the facility.
