Tour La Brea Tar Pits, Page Museum and Hancock Memorial Museum
A Columbian Mammoth fossil, believed to be between 10,000 and 40,000 years old, is among the collection of ice age-relics on exhibit at the Page Museum in Los Angeles. This fossil is the only specimen in the museum in which all of the bones are from the same animal. (courtesy Page Museum)

Allan Hancock College is offering a tour to the Page Museum, the La Brea Tar Pits and the Hancock Memorial Museum in Los Angeles on Saturday, Nov. 4. Registration must be received by Oct. 3.
The late Capt. G. Allan Hancock, for whom the college is named, mined tar from the
La Brea Tar Pits as a young man. The pits were later determined to be the largest and most important deposits of ice-age fossils in the world. Also on this site is the George C. Page Museum, a research and educational facility that houses the La Brea fossils.
The Hancock Memorial Museum tour will feature a docent-led exploration of four rooms moved from the Hancock family mansion and painstakingly reassembled on the University of Southern California, Los Angeles campus, in 1939.
For more information, call 922-6966 or 1-800-338-8731 ext. 3209.
