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.
An exhibition exploring the ideals at the heart of the Declaration of Independence through moments in our history that have defined their meaning. This poster exhibition was developed through a multistate collaboration using material from an exhibition of the same name created by History Colorado. California partnered with the project through the California Association of Museums.
Share a meal, connect with neighbors, and hear updates from the San Lorenzo Valley Historical Society as we mark 50 years of sharing local history.
