The Museum of the San Ramon Valley
The Museum of the San Ramon Valley was founded in 1985 to promote knowledge
about the Valley's history and to create a new Museum.
Headed by a board of Trustees, the non-profit Museum sponsors exhibits, gives
Depot and Old Town Danville walking tours, provides Indian Life programs for
fourth graders and sponsors the Tassajara One-Room School program for third
graders. It also collects, stores and protects artifacts from the San Ramon
Valley.
The restored historic 1891 Southern Pacific Depot in Danville, CA serves as a
museum, a community gathering place and history library. Students and adults
doing research on the Valley can be assisted at the library. History is
featured in permanent and revolving exhibits and an historical frieze
encircling the exhibit area. A Museum Store offers books and mementos for sale
to visitors.
A Whistle Stop Lecture series of talks by experts in Valley geology,
paleontology, Native Americans, et.al. will be offered. These lectures will
provide basic information on Valley history and will be available in printed
form.
The Guild was formed in 1998 to support the activities of the Museum. Opening
in the summer of 1999 the Museum at the Depot will provide a unique tribute to
the rich history of the San Francisco Bay Area's San Ramon Valley. Please
join us.
