About us
Welcome history and culture enthusiasts! Let's go explore the Bay Area's cultural treasures around us! Or, simply chat about history and culture! We visit archaeological sites, museum exhibits, participate in discussions, go to historical reenactments, attend plays and operas, explore old parts of cities, visit fairs and festivals, learn skills at workshops, go on tours, enjoy movies, and more!
ALL MEMBERS ARE EMPOWERED AS EVENT ORGANIZERS! PLEASE ORGANIZE EVENTS THAT INTEREST YOU.
When you get a chance: please fill out the best times for you to meet so that we can plan events appropriately.
Everyone is welcome: families with kids, students, scholars, seniors, singles, LGBTQ, all ethnicities, people with all ranges of physical capabilities, all religious backgrounds, and those ranging from the aspiring Indiana Jones to people just rekindling their interest in history and culture.
For restaurants and similar events: please bring cash in case we can't split the check. You only pay for what you ordered, but tax and tip will be divided evenly by the number of people present regardless of what you ordered.
We hope to join us for our next adventure!
Featured event
What Historians Say: Liberia
This is the next in the series.
Just a reminder that, with these series, everybody will view a short Youtube video, or part of a video, and we will discuss it over either a beverage, a meal, or both. These videos will often originate from historians who happen to have a Youtube presence.
In preparation for the meeting, please view the video from Dr. Harini Bhat on PBS:
- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HCuLx5Q1uvo "The Black Deportation Scheme They Don't Teach You About"
We will again meet outside on the St John Street/Sharks Way side at San Pedro Square. Look for the guy in the ORTBO cap to find us.
