You’re invited to our next Hands on History workshop on Saturday, October 15th at 11:00 AM at the Santa Monica History Museum! This workshop will focus on the history of veterans in our community.

Located on land originally deeded for use by veterans in 1888 by Arcadia Bandini Stearns de Baker and Senator John P. Jones, the Veteran’s Affairs medical center in West Los Angeles has grown into a hub of activity and care for those who have served our country.

Join us on Saturday, October 15th to experience the newly opened special exhibit detailing the history of the Old Soldiers’ Home including photographs and artifacts that help tell the story of veterans in this area.

After the lesson in the galleries, participants will move to the museum lobby where they will create cards to be sent to veterans and active-duty service members to be received in time for Veteran’s Day.

The workshop is FREE, but we do ask that you please RSVP for planning purposes. You can RSVP to Kathryn at kevans@santamonicahistory.org or (310) 395-2290.

We hope you will join us on Saturday, October 15th from 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM!
