Details... Sentinel Newsletter: Indigenous San Ramon Before European explorers first entered the San Ramon Valley in 1772, indigenous people in a number of small tribes had lived on the land for up to 5000 years. Tribes or tribletes of 50 to 250 members all speaking different languages hunted and gathered throughout these lush lands. A mortar and pestle found locally provides evidence that they lived along Oak Creek on the modern Forest Home Farms. Indian remains found during 20th century renovations support the claim.. Details... Forest Home Farms Oral History Project We have several oral histories in various stages, some that still need transcribing and editing and many folks that still need to be interviewed! Needs include: transcription, editing and indexing of oral histories; searching transcribed oral histories for keywords relating to Boone and Glass family history; interviewing people. If you’re interested in helping with this exciting program, please contact Stephanie Herscu at (925) 973-3282 or sherscu@sanramon.ca.gov Forest Home Farms video tour!
