Upcoming Dinner Program on Thursday May 15th:
The Moraga Adobe: History and Restoration
Kent Long, President of the Friends of the Joaquin Moraga Adobe, will offer an in-depth look at one of Northern California’s oldest surviving adobe structures. Built in 1841, the Moraga Adobe was home to Joaquin Moraga, whose grandfather founded both the San Francisco Presidio and the City of San Jose, and whose father was a key military leader and explorer. Long will trace the adobe’s story from the Mexican rancho period through the American ranching era and into the 20th century. He will also highlight its unique architecture, the 1940s restoration, and current efforts to further preserve and open it as a museum. This program offers a valuable glimpse into early Anglo-Hispanic California.
