One of the most cherished landmarks in the modern San Fernando Valley is the Pierce Farm Center. The center celebrates Pierce College's treasured agricultural heritage, and provides Valley families with one of the few precious farm-experiences left in our area. This photo from the school's 20th anniversary yearbook, demonstrates the long time farm tradition at Pierce.

The San Fernando Valley, in the heart of the Creative Capital of the World, deserves a great Museum of history and culture.

Br. BOGDANOFF PLAYS CAPTAIN DANA

Brother John Bogdanoff is very active in community activities. Here he plays in an historic re-enactment, as Captain Dana.
A re-enactment of the 1850 marriage of Maria Josefa Dana to Henry Tefft highlighted the 10th annual Heritage Day held Sunday at the Dana Adobe in Nipomo.

Dozens of actors in period costumes re-created the wedding of Nipomo founders Capt. William G. Dana and Maria Josepha Dana de Carrillo’s daughter.

Others demonstrated a variety of crafts from the day, from candlemaking and spinning to brickmaking and blacksmithing as vaqueros’ and sailors’ encampments ringed the adobe.

Visitors joined docents to dance to period music, toured the rooms to view restoration efforts and heard an explanation of an archaeological dig recently conducted on the verandah.

The annual celebration is staged by the Dana Adobe Amigos, a nonprofit organization that’s restoring the two-story adobe home and working to create a historical park to re-create a portion of Rancho Nipomo.
