Evening at the Society of California Pioneers in the San Francisco Presidio
Arrive before 6:00 pm to stroll around the area and enjoy the views of the Bay and the Golden Gate Bridge (self-guided walking tour Main Post Walk: 200 Years of History and Architecture). Sunset is at 7:14 pm, but civil twilight extends to 7:40 pm.
Share a taxi or Lyft/Uber. Also, the Downtown Route of the free shuttle Presidigo offers service between the Transbay Terminal, Embarcadero BART, and Union Street/Van Ness Avenue and the Presidio.
The Society has graciously extended their exhibition, Her Side of the Story, just for us. This exhibition highlights the handwritten book by the members of The Association of Pioneer Women of California, which includes detailed accounts of their journeys to California and the ways in which these women created their new lives in the Wild West. We will have the opportunity to view these primary source documents, along with original artifacts from the collection, to gain a greater understanding of life as a woman in the 1850s.
Refreshment will be provided by Anchor Brewing. Anchor is America’s first and oldest craft brewery, with roots dating back to the California gold rush. Anchor Steam Beer derives its unusual name from the 19th century when “steam” was a nickname for beer brewed on the West Coast of America under primitive conditions and without ice.
