Celebrating 50 years of sharing history • 1976 - 2026
A look back at the first 50 years of the San Lorenzo Valley Historical Society.
This exhibition features the work of renowned humanitarian and award-winning photographer Randy Bacon. It documents the stories of 32 people experiencing homelessness to build empathy and compassion for the unhoused community. The photographic portraits reveal the beauty, dignity, and identity of each person.
In celebration of the Nation's 250th anniversary Americana is an exhibition of pictorial images depicting artifacts, cultural elements, and visual aesthetics that are characteristically and distinctively American. Visit art2026 to learn about the artists and to read their artistic statements.
