The program will be about the history of this historic site - formerly the Whipple Ranch from 1941 to 1977, and the Wagner Ranch from 1927 to 1941. It has been the home of Alpen Cellars for 45 years.

The Historical Society is providing the hot dogs and water. Please bring a side dish, salad, or dessert to share, and also a chair for yourself.
