“Ojai: A Postcard History”

A power point presentation, with commentary by Craig Walker, Tom Moore, and David Mason will be hosted by the Ojai Valley Museum on September 12. Craig Walker and Tom Moore are co-authors of the recently released book “Ojai”, from Arcadia Publishing’s Postcard History Series. David Mason served as a consultant for the book. The book project was organized by the Ojai Valley Museum, with many of the postcards coming from its own extensive collection. Collectors living in the Ojai Valley donated other cards to the project.

The slide show will feature full-color scans of many rare and beautiful vintage postcards covering the last 100 years of Ojai Valley history. The authors will provide descriptions, stories, and interesting facts relating to the places and events pictured on the cards.

After the slide show, the authors will be available to answer questions and sign copies of their book. Several postcard donors will also be on hand to answer questions about their collections.

Those wishing to have a signed copy of the book may bring their own copy or purchase one from the museum at the event. The book is also on sale at various locations around Ojai.

The event will be held on Sunday, September 12, at 4:00 pm in the museum gallery at 130 W. Ojai Avenue, Ojai. Contact the museum at (805) 640-1390 for additional information.
