Some people are just cut out for life on the road. Leonora Francis Curtin, also known as Babsie, and her mother, Leonora Muse Curtin, made lifelong memories on their excursions together, including one that took them cross-country from New York City to Santa Fe, New Mexico in 1927.
Curtin brings the adventures she shared with Babsie out on the open road alive in a program sponsored by the Pasadena Museum of History. There will be no shortage of anecdotes, from changing flat tires, to attending society teas and rodeos.
The event is held in conjunction with Southern California’s Evolving Landscape: The Photography of Helen Lukens Gaut (1872-1955), an exhibit that features photographs of Gaut’s travels in Southern California in the early decades of the 20th century. A reception will follow the program.
Nov. 1, 7:30 p.m. $15. Pasadena Museum of History, 470 W. Walnut St. (626) 577-1660, ext. 10. www.pasadenahistory.org
