Robin Chapman speaks on Lost Orchards

Wednesday, May 22, 2013
7:30pm - Los Altos Library
Book signing & reception follows at the Museum

Apricot. It tastes, some say, like manna from heaven. Local author and journalist ROBIN CHAPMAN recalls the time when the Santa Clara Valley was the largest apricot producer in the world. Relive the long summer days ripe with bumper crops of this much-anticipated delicacy, from the 18th century Spaniards who first planted them to post–WWII families who built their homes among subdivided orchards.

RSVP NOT REQUIRED. INFORMATION: 650.948.9427 X14 (AJA)
