shaped by water Shaped by Water: Past, Present & Future
On exhibit through April 22, 2012

You won’t want to miss what the Los Altos Town Crier calls “one of the best exhibitions ... in the 10-year history” of the Los Altos History Museum. This family-friendly exhibit teaches us about the history and future of water in the Santa Clara Valley—from the indigenous tribal people, the Spanish, Mexican, and Gold Rush immigrants, and the present-day population to the uncertain future of our water resources— through photographs, art installations, stories, and engaging interactive activities. You will leave with a greater understanding of the role water plays in our lives—with resources and ideas for action!
