By "Homes and Gardens of Los Altos: The Architectural Heritage Show" is currently on display through Aug. 18 at the Los Altos History Museum. This exhibit features the history of the Orange, University and Palm avenues neighborhood, the first to be settled in Los Altos. The focus will be on various styles of architecture found in Northern California, including Craftsman, Victorian, Ranch and California Mission.

Complementing the exhibit is a special “Music & Memories” program set for 4 p.m., Sunday. The chair of this “Music and Memories: The History of the Los Altos Garden Club,” program is Beverley McChesney, historical commissioner and museum volunteer. Music and singing is presented by Jim Thurber, Jr.

The Los Altos Garden Club will be furnishing two or three period floral arrangements.

Thurber Jr. has selected music from various eras to mark the 50th anniversary of the incorporation of the city of Los Altos. As part of the city’s yearlong celebration, the Los Altos History Museum will present an exhibit detailing the debate and controversy surrounding the incorporation as well as significant community accomplishments in each decade since incorporation.

In Our Opinion

Editorial

We’ve recently covered the passing of two of this community’s most involved and committed volunteers, Lee Lynch and Billy Russell. They represented an era when people helped out, not so they could get their name on a building, but because it was simply the right thing to do.

There’s a new generation of volunteers hard at work right now in this community who are carrying on their legacy. The level of involvement in the recent Los Altos Relay For Life event bears this out.
