with the California Perservation Foundation

This Sunday, September 27th at the Maloof

for more information visit Doors Open California – Statewide Behind-the-Scenes Tours | California Preservation Foundation



This September, the California Preservation Foundation presents Doors Open California 2026, a statewide celebration of historic places, hidden interiors, cultural landmarks, and behind-the-scenes experiences rarely available to the public.


Now in its fifth year, Doors Open California invites visitors to step inside the places that shape California's story - from Gold Rush towns and landmark theaters to private homes, working craft shops, archives, adobes, ships, churches, civic buildings, gardens, and architectural icons. Across four weekends in September, more than 60 participating sites will open their doors with special tours, talks, open houses, and one-time-only experiences designed to connect people directly with the state's diverse heritage.

The Sam and Alfreda Maloof Foundation for Arts and Crafts acknowledges the Tongva peoples as the traditional land caretakers of Tovaangar (the Tongva world, including the Los Angeles Basin, South Channel Islands, San Gabriel and Pomona Valleys, and portions of Orange, San Bernardino, and Riverside Counties) and are grateful to have the opportunity to work for the Taraaxatom (Indigenous peoples) in this place.
