Lost Stories of a Highway and a Neighborhood
The Historical Society of Santa Rosa hosts panelists Dr. Margaret (Margie) Purser, historical archaeologist, and Lynn Prime, Regional & Special Collections Librarian at Sonoma State University, as they present and discuss the Lost Stories of a Highway and a Neighborhood.
This presentation includes the following and more:
