Are you interested in joining other OLLI members to explore the rich history of our own home, Santa Clara County? From the indigenous peoples whose land this was to the Valley of Hearts Delight agricultural heritage to Silicon Valley, there is much to explore and learn about right here.
This group meets monthly on the 4th Monday of each month at 4 pm on zoom to plan outings. Outings are scheduled depending on the availability of the sites and docents and require a lot of coordination.
This past 8 months we have visited the extensive research resources at both the California Room at San Jose State University and the History Park San Jose, the Roberto Adobe and Sunol House, the Mission and other historic sites on the SCU campus, the Ainsley House, the Sunnyvale Heritage Park, Almaden Quicksilver County Park, the Computer History Museum and have plans for many more outings.
Candace Roney chairs this SIG with gratitude to many SIG members who step up to coordinate trips.
