SUMMARY:Pack a Lunch\, Unpack History: Surviving the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake
DESCRIPTION:Pack a Lunch\, Unpack History\nBring your lunch and feed your curiosity as we explore the stories\, questions\, and discoveries that bring history to life. Each program takes a closer look at a different person\, place\, event\, or idea connected to Brucemore — revealing new perspectives and unexpected connections along the way. Led by members of Brucemore’s collections team\, guest speakers\, and special presenters\, these conversations go beyond the typical tour to uncover fascinating research\, archival discoveries\, and the human experiences that shape our understanding of the past. Whether you’re a longtime history fan or simply looking for an interesting way to spend your lunch break\, come learn something unexpected\, share your curiosity with others\, and discover a new side of history. \nAugust 27 – Surviving the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake\nWhat can we learn from the stories that are missing? \nIn 1906\, George and Irene Douglas traveled to San Francisco expecting a family vacation. Instead\, they found themselves in the midst of one of the deadliest earthquakes in American history. George documented the terrifying experience\, but Irene’s perspective — as a mother trying to escape with an infant and young child — was never recorded. Join Curator of Museum Collections Jessica Peel-Austin for a closer look at the Douglas family’s experience and the detective work historians use to uncover the voices\, experiences\, and stories that are often missing from the historical record. Through archival research\, we can piece together a fuller picture of the past — including the perspectives that were left behind. \nEvent Time: 12:00 to 1:00 PM \nEvent Location: Brucemore’s Carriage House \nEvent Admission: \n\n$10 general admission\nTickets may be purchased in advance online or over the phone or in-person at the event.\nBrucemore supporters receive a $5 discount per ticket.
