Glendora:
the town with a castle
Home to one of Southern California’s most unexpected landmarks
Rubel Castle:
One man’s dream inspired a community
What began as a childhood obsession transformed a relic of Glendora’s vanishing citrus industry into a monumental castle unlike any other.
Glendora Museum:
Local history, up close
Housed in Glendora’s original 1913 civic building, once the city hall, fire station, and jail all under one roof, the museum brings together artifacts and photographs that tell our town’s story from its earliest days to the present. It’s a space where the community comes together through events and a shared love of Glendora and its history.
Open every Saturday 11am-2pm (except holidays)
