Kirsten Mickelwait

Join us for a Reception and Help us Kick Off Two New Exhibits!

Saturday, November 1, from Noon-4pm

At the Heritage Center Museum

The Valley Beautiful: Architecture

We inherited the Architecture exhibit from the Napa Valley Historical Society’s exhibit, and Research Director Mariam Hansen curated the exhibit to include those buildings specific to St. Helena.

Mike’s Bikes

You may/not know that Congressman Mike Thompson is a cyclist. He also has an impressive collection of vintage bicycles. In America in 1959, bicycles were children’s toys. The market for quality adult lightweight bicycles made up less than 1% of the total market. In 1987, the market for quality adult bicycles made up more than 60% of the U. S. market, the most vibrant in the world. All manner of cycling organizations popped up all over the country. Cycling had become a sport, a hobby and transportation.

Coming up: November 20 @ 10:30am–Reception and Book Signing

THE ASHTRAYS ARE FULL AND THE GLASSES ARE EMPTY

 Kirsten will show a short (90-second) book trailer, read an excerpt, then take questions

Raised amid great wealth and privilege, Sara Wiborg Murphy rejects her family’s traditional values to build a golden life of creativity and beauty amid the Lost Generation in France. This lush historical novel follows Sara from New York to Paris and Antibes and back again. Wherever she lands, her flair for celebrating life and the people around her makes her a doyenne of the bohemian elite.

A PHOTO REVIEW OF 2025

This year our “Spirits” are the pioneers who founded St. Helena–names like Hudson, Griffith and Elgin. They all came from places like Ohio and Missouri. They crossed the plains in wagon trains–a long, dangerous journey.
