John Pomeroy built a home in the summer of 1908 for his recently widowed mother. Fourteen years later his family numbered six, so he built his mother a second home next door. Their homes and business were located in the heart of the community and witnessed its growth. The participated in the development of the school system, the churches, the agricultural business, the industrial business, local government and civic institutions. In 1986 the houses and the family homestead where donated to the City of Pasadena for historical and cultural purposes. Since other historical structures were to be moved to the property in order to concentrate the historical assets of the community, the property was designated the Pasadena Heritage Park. On June 10, 2000 the first phase of the Heritage Park was opened, the John & Gertrude Pomeroy House. Follow the links to learn more about this exciting project and its progress.
