Pasadena Victorian homes

I was graciously given a ticket to a home tour of six Pasadena-area Victorian homes, presented by Pasadena Heritage. It was an enjoyable afternoon of driving around the city and seeing behind gates and inside homes, one of which I drive by everyday on my way home from work (Hillmont).

I was reminded of the importance and value of preserving and restoring the heritage of the past. And I thought of my grandfather's barn. I most likely will never own an historic Pasadena home, but my family has inherited a small farm. How can we preserve our heritage?
