Amador Livermore Valley Historical

Education and Lectures: We see every third-grade student in the Pleasanton Unified School District 1,908 students. Students first engage with a wide variety of artifacts that relate to Pleasanton History in their classrooms and then they come and visit the museum to explore our history gallery and go on a historic walking tour. We also offered specialty school tours scout tours and camp programs which served 76 students in 2023. We also offered a monthly preschool reading and craft program that attracts 20-25 children and caregivers each month. This program is also offered in the afternoon once a month for adults with developmental disabilities 10-15 participants monthly. We do an intergenerational Family Day 4 times a year during the summer months and in 2023 our family days served 1,436 participants. We also offered walking tours museum on wheels lectures an appraisal event and a discussion lecture series for adults and seniors 495 participants in 2023. Finally we provide exhibit-related programming that changes each year depending on the exhibits. We also do programs at other organizations events and festivals reaching 247 individuals. In 2023 our exhibit related programing included artist demos during our Pleasanton Art League show which served 120 participants. One of the largest educational programs done by the museum is our monthly Ed Kinney Lecture Series where presenters portray historical characters in the Chautauqua style of performance. In 2023 Ed Kinney served 3,424.

Ghost Walk: Ghost Walk is an annual event where the Museum hosts historic walking tours mixed with the haunted legends associated with many of Pleasantons Historic Buildings. There are 9 haunted locations where groups visit and hear from an actor portraying the spirit. The actor shared the history of the building as well as the ghost stories associated with the building. Some of our stories date back to the 1890s. The event occurs over 4 nights in the month of October and serves 1036 participants annually. In addition to providing historic walking tours to the public the program provides volunteer opportunities for youth actors who fill a majority of the acting spots along the route. The program takes 35 volunteers to put on every night and therefore is a great opportunity for members of the community to get service hours.
