Los Gatos Circa 1960

PROGRAM DETAILS: Date Friday, May 22, 2026 Time 11-11:45 AM Location NUMU | 106 E. Main Street, Los Gatos, CA, 95030 Cost Free with Registration Register Long known as “the Valley of Heart’s Delight”, Santa Clara Valley was the world’s largest producer of fruit, with acres of farmland providing a bounty of produce in an ideal climate. This decade saw a huge increase in population that came about for several reasons, including the growing technology industry that developed into what we now know as Silicon Valley. While Los Gatos maintained its small-town charm, residents were also participating in a cultural and creative change; Mid-Century architecture replaced traditional buildings; farmland decreased to accommodate urban development; and a thriving community of artists, creatives, bars, and restaurants grew in town. Learn more about Los Gatos in the 1960s with Amy Long, curator of our current exhibition, I Know A Place. Amy will also share her experiences living in Los Gatos in the 60s. We'd love to hear your stories, too!
