Most will recognize the uniquely shaped bells hanging from their shepherd’s crook staffs that have dotted the highways of California since the dawn of the 20th century. The story of how they branded California, and the remarkable woman responsible not just for their design but their creation, is one that continues to resonate to this day.

California historian Phyllis Hansen will bring “The Bell Lady”, Mrs. A.S.C. Forbes to life on Saturday July 26 at 1: 00 at the Rancho Camulos National Historic Landmark. Phyllis will relate Mrs. Forbes remarkable life and legacy as a true Renaissance Woman who, as an author, historian, designer, businesswoman, foundry-founder, activist and legendary photographer, was almost larger than life. She will also share a number of unique artifacts from the estate of Mrs. Forbes and her equally noteworthy husband. The suggested donation is $10

Museum Docent- led tours will also be available at 3:00
