What family treasure do you
have? Maybe it’s a Native American
basket. Or a one-of-a-kind photo album featuring your ancestors. Or your great-grandmother’s
quilt. At Dorothy Ramon Learning Center on Monday, March 25, you can find out
how to preserve your treasure for yourself and future generations.
Maggie Wetherbee, curator of the Edward Dean Museum & Gardens in Cherry Valley, will explain in a Dragonfly Lecture starting at 6 p.m. at The Gathering Hall, 127 N. San Gorgonio, Banning, how to care for and preserve heirlooms and family treasures.
Wetherbee encourages people to bring their “stuff” to share and for her advice. It’ll be a lot like a San Gorgonio Pass version of the popular television program, “Antiques Roadshow;” although Wetherbee does not give values, she will refer those interested in their item’s value to a qualified appraiser.
What she will do is advise you how to take care of your treasure. At similar lectures elsewhere in Riverside County, people have brought amazing items to show Wetherbee, such as old Native American baskets and even a Civil War diary. So, join the fun and see what others have celebrating heritage and history.
Wetherbee has extensive experience in preservation and curation. Most recently as curator at Edward-Dean, Wetherbee has worked to preserve an extensive and varied collection dating from the 1500s.
The recommended donation of $5 will benefit Dorothy Ramon Learning Center’s mission to save and share Southern California’s Native American cultures, languages, history, and traditional arts. Information: 951.849.7736.
