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!

What Historians Say: Crispus Attucks
San Pedro Square Market: Downtown San Jose, 87 North San Pedro Street, San Jose, CA, USFor these meetups, 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.
