Below are images from last year's event!

Info: Visit 20 local historical societies, libraries and museums at their tables in the Barracks Courtyard. Learn about the important women within their organizations. Complete the tasks at each of the tables and get your bingo card marked off. Prizes awarded for completed bingo cards, while prizes last.

Info: Melissa Jacobson is a retired Diablo Valley College History Professor, whose areas of expertise include Women’s and California History.

Currently, Ms. Jacobson is very much enjoying sharing her knowledge and joy of local history with members of the community who are not (by the way) required to do homework, turn in essays nor take exams! This means, we can all sit back and enjoy learning about the exciting accomplishments, trials and tribulations, of the people who came to this miraculous state long before us. Welcome to this very special, Women’s History Month presentation!

Info: Join Ivy Anderson and Devon Angus as they discuss their book, Alice Memoirs of a Barbary Coast Prostitute. Learn about the views and lives of Alice, and other sex workers, in early 20th century San Francisco. You will have the opportunity to watch feature footage from the film adaptation of the book. Read all about the author's and their phenomenal book at their website, https://www.voicesfromtheunderworld.com/read-me/
