Current Information & Events
A special presentation that we have just arranged.
A HISTORY OF LIVERMORE WITH PETER CRANE
There are several historical events and milestones that have occurred recently, most notably, the 250th anniversary of our nation. However, there is one event that quietly passed by us on July 11, 2026, that being the 150th anniversary of the formation of the town of Livermore. Livermore is one of the most accessed topics on our website and most talked about topic with museum guests. We thought that it would be good to highlight this occasion with a talk by one of our foremost historians on the town of Livermore, Dr. Peter Crane. Peter has spoken before BHS audiences in the past and has always enlightened our guests with his knowledge of this topic. Please join us for this special presentation on Thursday, August 13th beginning at 7:00 p.m. We look forward to welcoming you. We’ve included a flier for this presentation with this email.
ADVANCE READING AVAILABLE
