Visit The Original In-N-Out Burger Museum, Baldwin Park, California

Add to My List Check Off

This tiny replica of the first In-N-Out is a great stop along I-10. The original site was demolished to make way for I-10. Harry Snyder introduces California's first drive-thru hamburger stand in a space barely 100 square feet at Francisquito and Garvey in Baldwin Park. Every day before dawn, Harry visits the meat and produce markets to pick out fresh ingredients, which he prepares by hand. Meanwhile, his wife Esther diligently takes care of all the accounting for the new restaurant at their home right around the corner. In-N-Out Burger's first location was opened in the Los Angeles suburb of Baldwin Park, California, in 1948 by the Snyders at the southwest corner of what is now the intersection of Interstate 10 and Francisquito Avenue. The restaurant was the first drive-thru hamburger stand in California, allowing drivers to place orders via a two-way speaker system. This was a new and unique idea, since in post-World War II California, carhops were used to take orders and serve food. When open there is an associate there to greet you. They give a brief history of the company where it all started! After the visit, go to the In and Out store on the other side of I-10. Also stop by the In-N-Out Company Store next door.
