Valentine Wolfenstein, proprietor of L.A.'s first successful photography studio.

Ernestine Wade, radio performer and pioneering black actress.

Tour takers are advised to wear walking shoes, as it will be necessary to travel over somewhat uneven grassy surfaces, and prepare for potentially hot weather with sunscreen, hats, and water. The tour lasts approximately three hours.
