It began with a mission to save Old St. Hilary’s. In 1959, the Belvedere Tiburon Landmarks Society was formed to acquire, preserve and maintain artifacts, landmarks, and open space of local historic significance and make them available to the public. For 50 years, Landmarks has been fulfilling that mission. At their 50 year mark they are offering a 50 Years for $50 Dollars Membership where you can be a part of tomorrow’s history. Visit the Landmarks website for more details.
Meanwhile, Landmarks is always in need of new docents. If your passion is local history and you like to share that passion with others – THIS is your big break! Docents have the opportunity to work on Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays at one of four historic hot spots PLUS the Landmarks Thrift Shop.
The biggest demand right now is the weekends. On weekends, people come from all around – excited and interested in the history of Belvedere and Tiburon. Share that history with visitors, kids, adults, and tourists – ALL of whom are there because they WANT to be. So come out, volunteer, join, and help others get their Passport to History through Belvedere and Tiburon. Interested?
