MEET THE TEAM

Pasadena Walking Tours was founded in 2017 with the goal of sharing Pasadena's history, culture, and neighborhoods with locals and visitors alike and to make life a little more interesting, one sidewalk story at a time. We are proud to be an independent, women-owned and locally operated business!

Jenny Goodwin

Co-Owner and Tour Guide
Jenny’s love of old buildings revealed itself early on when she developed a totally normal childhood obsession with ghost towns. She holds a BFA in Graphic Design, and after many years in creative operations, she now works in historic preservation as a full time staff member at the LA Conservancy. A resident of Pasadena's Playhouse Village, she enjoys discovering and sharing  historical remnants that might otherwise be overlooked. She is currently working on a book about Pasadena's Millionaire's Row in partnership with the Pasadena Museum of History. Other loves include dogs, handmade ceramics, and old maps.

Heather   Wexler

Tour Guide and Paranormal Investigator
Heather is a native of Los Angeles, born and raised in the San Fernando Valley. But it wasn't until she ventured into the field of paranormal investigation that her thirst for the history of long familiar locales was ignited. Now, she spends much of her free time harnessing her curiosity and researching that which came before. While she loves the research, especially in places where residents still linger from eras bygone, nothing beats inspiring that same sense of curiosity in others which is why she always looks forward to guiding guests on tours of local history and the haunts that lurk within.
