First Wednesday: History and Maritime Heritage of Belvedere and Tiburon with Dave Gotz In-Person
The Tiburon Peninsula, which includes the Town of Tiburon and the City of Belvedere, is the largest part of the Rancho Corte de Madera del Presidio - "the ranch that cuts wood for the Presidio" - which was granted to John Thomas Reed in 1834 by the Mexican government. Initially an agrarian society of cattle ranches and dairy farms, with the arrival of a railroad and ferry terminus at Point Tiburon in 1884 the Peninsula became an industrial and maritime center as well as a residential and tourist destination. Join us as Dave Gotz, Town of Tiburon Historian, explores the many industries and pastimes that evolved along the shores of this scenic part of the North Bay with rare and historic photos from the Landmarks Society’s collection.
