The legacy of John Muir is one that affects nature lovers throughout California, and to commemorate one of the state’s most famous residents, the Museum of the San Ramon Valley is hosting a special presentation exploring the famed conservationist’s life.
Set to be held on April 15, “John Muir: California’s Most Famous Resident” will follow Muir’s life from Scotland to migrating as a child to America, his education and his quest to preserve the country’s nature and the beauty it holds.
“Beyond being voted California’s most famous resident, you may likely come away thinking of Muir as one of the world’s most interesting men,” museum staff said.
The program will feature Garrett Dailey, an attorney and noted authority on John Muir who taught a course on John Muir at the University of Edinburgh Centre for Open Learning as well as lectured and spoke with various groups and organizations.
“John Muir: California’s Most Famous Resident” will be held virtually on April 15 at 11:30 a.m.
To attend this free online presentation residents can visit the museum’s website at www.museumsrv.org and go to the “Events” section or call 925 837-3750.
