Immersed in history at the Homestead Museum with Jennifer Koshatka Seman, exploring the extraordinary life of Teresa Urrea in ‘Borderlands Curanderos.’ From spiritual healer to revolutionary, Teresa’s journey in California came alive in Jennifer’s captivating talk. ✨ Grateful for the engaging discussions and personalized book signings. Don’t miss your chance to grab a copy of this inspiring tale at the museum store! 📚 #HomesteadMuseum #BookSigning #TeresaUrrea #History #Yaqui
Happy #nationalcatday! Here's Thomas and Tonchy the cat.
Visit us today at the Archives Bazaar today! We'll be there with this photo from the 1910s of a stockroom whose location would later become part of USC's campus.
