A Place to Call Home:
Two Centuries of California Living
On exhibit April 25 to October 6, 2013
Houses give us more than shelter. They give us a place to belong. Since the arrival of the first Spanish settlers, our homes have evolved in style, size and use, reflecting our changing lifestyles and cultural values. Over time, we’ve developed a unique sense of “California Living,” and changed the way people live in other places. This original new exhibition focuses on house architecture of the past 200 years - and beyond. Click here for a full description.

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.
