We\'ll take a walk out onto the pier and learn about Hermosa\'s early history and people, from the local Native American Tongva tribe, to the area\'s settlers. You\'ll see a photo taken 100 years ago and stand in the exact spot it was taken. Listen to a 94 year old surfer, Tommy Rice describe what it was like to be a surfing pioneer and sleep under the pier where you stand. Then you\'ll hear about how swing music came to Hermosa and changed this town forever.
