Benefits of Membership

The Monrovia Historic Preservation Group is entrusted with Monrovia’s heritage through preservation, education, and community involvement.

When you become a member, you will receive a regular newsletter with current information about the group and its activities and can also attend monthly meetings covering a wide-ranging list of topics.  Recent meetings have included a tour of the Lummis Home in the Arroyo Seco area off the Pasadena Fwy, the Pasadena Tournament of Roses headquarters (the Wrigley Mansion), and the Lanterman House in La Cañada.

Members have access to the Resource Directory, a listing of businesses and craftsmen whose skills are in demand for homeowners restoring their vintage homes. The only way to be included in the directory is by referral from an MOHPG member. The current directory lists 145 businesses in 34 categories and can be found in the members-only section of this website.

While the agenda is currently being developed to meet the needs of the attendees, the seminar is designed to help homeowners answer the following questions:

1. Why should we be concerned about “green” issues?
2. How and why does preservation play a role in sustainability?
3. How can homeowners improve the energy efficiency of their existing homes?
4. How can homeowners take advantage of the latest technology, rebates, tax credits and incentives that help offset the costs of these improvements?

In short how can we live gently and leave a small footprint?

Join us for an informative two hours and a chance to ask questions of the presenters.  Refreshments will be provided.
