The Agricultural History Project has created a new exhibit that portrays the life of a pioneer family that owned property in the Santa Cruz Mountains above Corralitos. The exhibit tells the life of the Bob Tindall and his family that lived and farmed the Tindall Ranch since 1898.
The Agricultural History Project has collected many artifacts over its 30 years of existence and has done oral histories of local residents. This is the first time that an exhibit has been produced from an oral history of the life of a family. Beverly Tindall-Gomez researched her family history and volunteers from the Agricultural History Project assisted in assembling the exhibit.
The exhibit will be on display at Yesterday’s Farm during the Santa Cruz County Fair September 14–18 and at every Second Saturday event each month throughout the year.
The Agricultural History Project is a non-profit organization located at the entrance to Santa Cruz County Fairgrounds in Watsonville, California. As you discover the rich agricultural history of Santa Cruz, Monterey and Pajaro Valley, you will learn about the crops, people, artifacts and farming practices that have made the Central Coast of California what it is today.
School groups and families from Santa Cruz County spend hours exploring our educational exhibits, historical archives, and the agriculture research in the Codiga Center & Museum. When you visit, be sure to stop by our charming gift shop “Country Corner!”
