Upcoming Events

Several fun events are coming up. This week is the second Contemporary Historians at the Presidio Lecture. The first lecture was on May 11th by Frank Matero of the University of Pennsylvania.

This week it will be Richard White of Stanford University talking about the history of the transcontinental railroads, on June 16th at 6:30, located at the Golden Gate Club.
The second event is sponsored by WCAPT. It will be a behind the scenes tour of the Diego Rivera frescoes in San Francisco, on Friday June 24th. For more information click here.

Juana Briones House is being deconstructed

The Juana Briones House is being deconstructed. That so significant a building is disappearing is disheartening. Several groups are in the process of trying to raise enough money to buy the deconstructed materials so that it can be reconstructed on a separate site. Hardly a good solution, it is all that can be done. For more information on how to get involved please contact Scott Smithwick. (president@pastheritage.org)
