November 1997 Field Trip

Our November 22 Field Trip will take us to the fascinating Cambridge Museum located in Apple Valley. The Cambridge family has dedicated the majority of the last century to the collection and preservation of Native American artifacts. Generation upon generation of the family  has tended and enriched the collection. This museum is open by appointment only and we will be invited guests for a personal tour. We will lunch on the museum grounds (weather permitting) following the tour, so pack a picnic lunch and enjoy the companionship. Contact Arlene Kallenberger, Field Trip Leader, at 760-244-9651 for information on meeting place and time.
