This is #NationalVolunteerWeek! 🙌 Typically, the paid staff of the Homestead would be putting the finishing touches on one of our most beloved annual events: our Volunteer Appreciation Dinner. While we make a point of saying thank you to our dedicated group of almost 70 volunteers regularly, the dinner is an opportunity for us to enjoy one another's company and shine a special light on folks who have reached hours and years of service milestones. Due to the pandemic, we aren't able to host the dinner this year, but we invite you to read about some past celebrations on our blog and join us in thanking our outstanding, dedicated, and hard-working crew. Cheers! 🎉🥂🎊

“A Home for Homeless Babies” was the motto of Castelar Crèche, an organization begun by LA women in 1921 that helped struggling families stay together. Read about the group and try a sponge cake recipe from its fundraising cook book. #ArchivesCooking #ArchivingWomen

We always know that spring is in full swing when our Lady Banks rose bush is blooming. It is said to have been planted in 1860 by William and Nicolasa Workman to celebrate the birth of their first granddaughter, Lucinda Temple.

Once again, vaccinations are "quite the rage"! This clip from the LA Star newspaper ran August 8, 1868, when people were clamoring for the smallpox vaccine, which happens to be the first successful vaccine developed.
