BANNING MUSEUM

In the heart of Wilmington sits a little-known treasure, The Banning Museum. Phineas Banning-entrepreneur, the founder of the city of Wilmington, and "the Father of the Port of Los Angeles"-built the 23-room residence in 1864. Subsequent generations lived in it until 1925; in 1927 the residence, stagecoach barn, and the surrounding 20 acres of parkland were acquired by the City of Los Angeles.
