So many updates going on in our galleries as we prepare for our new exhibits to be installed. One of the most exciting parts of a new exhibit is making decisions about paint colors in our gallery! It’s time to say goodbye to our “Dragon’s Blood” orange wall, but we are still deciding which we prefer for our next exhibit!

Just a reminder that Camron-Stanford House is clos

Just a reminder that Camron-Stanford House is closed today, and for the rest of the month of May! We are hard at work with annual Spring Cleaning tasks, including the installation of not one, but two new exhibits! We have plenty to keep us busy, including removing old adhesive from our walls, painting, and so much more. We can’t wait to see you when we reopen in June!

For the past few years, we’ve closed our doors d

For the past few years, we’ve closed our doors during the month of May to make space for larger restoration and preservation, collections care, and exhibit projects. We are in full Spring Cleaning mode here! Today Jim is repairing our veranda railing so that we are in tip-top shape for the summer season. Jim here has been actively involved with restoration projects and routine house maintenance here at Camron-Stanford House since it was first restored in the 1970s. He likes to joke that he is now probably paying for the construction mistakes he made as a youngster in the 70s, but we think his craftsmanship is magnificent! We are so grateful for the people who have dedicated so much of their skill and love to this house!

Thank you to the Walnut Creek Women’s Club for visiting us today! We were extra happy to welcome back former CSH docent Kitty. Kitty is taking the group on a private tour through Oakland and Berkeley today so they can learn more about the life and times of writer Gertrude Stein. Our museum was a place where Kitty could talk about Victorian era lifestyle and the type of house that Stein would have lived in with her own family.

Looking for a private tour for your group? Please get in touch! We would be happy to help you plan a visit!
