Danville, California, United States

Of cowboys and cattlemen

An exhibit on view at the Museum of the San Ramon Valley (January 28 - May 4, 2014), explores the history of cattle ranching in San Ramon. Besides the expected artifacts on display (maps, saddles, branding irons, barbed wire), ranchers are present on Saturdays to talk with visitors about ranching. Yeehaw!
