Jack Mason Museum of West Marin History

Faces and Friends: West Marin Children in the 1930s
2023-07-01 - 2023-07-31 | Inverness Library, 15 Park Avenue, Inverness, CA, 94937, United States
This exhibit of class photographs show some of our local elementary school pupils as they were in the 1930s at Black School in Point Reyes Station, Inverness School and Marshall School. The photographs are clear and sharp and the faces pop put at the viewer. We chose to isolate groups and individuals to give a closer, and less cluttered look at their faces and relationships. Look into their eyes and maybe you will see their future, their past, their home life.

Treasures From the Attic
2024-09-11 | Inverness Library, 15 Park Avenue, Inverness, CA, 94937, United States
As renovations are accomplished at The Gables, some of the artifacts and display items long stored in the attic (and also in the secure archives building) are on display for the first time in almost 40 years. Have your tooth fixed with a foot-powered dental drill? Get the keys to your summer house? See a three-dimensional map of Point Reyes and Tomales Bay as it appeared in 1918? These and much more for your delight.
