This small museum sits on what was a massive Aerospace

over 25,000 people. It now houses two very large outdoor dining and shopping
centers and a large Kaiser hospital/campus. (And for a short time a movie
studio!) For an interesting read on this, please visit: https://www.kcet.org/history-society/downey-from-orange-groves-to-the-apollo-space-program
