We are excited that the first Grand Salon will be held in the historic North Star Conservancy House, designed in 1905 by the renowned California Arts and Crafts architect Julia Morgan, and home to Mary Hallock Foote, the Gold Rush writer and illustrator. Mary Hallock Foote documented the New West for major eastern periodicals including Scribner’s and Atlantic Monthly. Her own reminiscences were published as a book titled A Victorian Gentle Woman in the Far West.

We are asking for a voluntary donation of $5 to $10 in order to cover the additional expenses that come with holding the Salon in the North Star House. We appreciate your support, and of course, welcome everyone regardless of whether you can contribute at this time. Just come!
