Greetings from Glendale —
A Pictorial History from Postcards Past.

Now running through March 8, 2026

“Wish you were here.” is written on the back of this featured postcard, and on many others in the later 19th and early 20th century. Traveling for leisure was becoming more accessible, as was the ability to share these delights with others. In a time when efficiency and pride were prioritized, postcards were a relatively quick and easy way to communicate, entertain, show off to your friends, and capture an event or place without having to tote around a personal camera. In our collection, we are featuring different snapshots of how early Glendale appeared. Join us at the Doctors House Museum to view for yourself the things that have changed and those that remain.

Greetings from Glendale: Casa Verdugo & Piedad Yorba Sowl —
A History of Casa Verdugo and the Woman who Brought Us to Glendale.

Running March 15 - June 28, 2026

Discover the legacy of Piedad Yorba Sowl, the celebrity restaurateur who enticed development in Glendale with her Spanish delights. From serving food to serving “beef,” she was a smart and courageous woman who took on Leslie Brand and Henry Huntington- and won!  The second half of the Greetings from Glendale exhibition, this oral history will be shared with the visual aids of the postcards that were sold as souvenirs from Yorba Sowl’s several locations, exploring her entrepreneurial spirit, and celebrating her lasting legacy of the Casa Verdugo Historic District.
