Featured speaker Ken Long, president of Friends of the Joaquin Moraga Adobe, is set to provide a history of the building as well as information on restoration efforts and current plans to turn it into a museum.

The discussion is set for 11:30 a.m. next Thursday (Nov. 16) via Zoom. Registration is available at museumsrv.org.
