California Historical Society
Aug 13, 06:00PM – 08:00PM
Learn about Alameda’s Neptune Beach – the “Coney Island of the West” – and it’s history as a pivotal attraction after the close of the Panama-Pacific International Exposition. Authors Dennis Evanosky and Eric Kos will take guests on a tour of west Alameda’s bathing and beach resorts that established the Island City’s recreational character beginning in the 1870s.
This event is sponsored by the Henry Mayo Newhall Foundation.
