Exhibits and Special Events

The goal of CSHPA is to preserve the Camron-Stanford House, the last of the Victorian homes that once surrounded Lake Merritt, and to tell stories about Victorian life in Oakland for a modern audience. We do that through annual educational exhibits, lectures, and special events designed to allow the public to live in this house and experience it for themselves.

Featured Exhibit

COVID-19 UPDATE: EXHIBIT OPENING DELAYED UNTIL AFTER MARCH 31, 2020
TATTOOED & TENACIOUS: Inked Women in California History
March - September, 2020

From upper-class women who started the tattoo craze to the working-class Tattooed Ladies who performed in circus sideshows, this exhibit puts the foremothers of modern tattooing in the spotlight. Through photographs and personal histories, this exhibit uncovers the fascinating and largely unknown stories of women and tattoos before WWII.

The Camron-Stanford House is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization run by a dedicated group of volunteer board members and docents. We receive no local, state or federal funds for our operations. For more than 45 years we have depended on the generosity of local donors to preserve the house, provide innovative exhibits and educational opportunities, and keep the grand old “Lady of the Lake” open for a new generation.
