Were you living or working in Los Gatos in the 1960s? New Museum Los Gatos (NUMU) is asking our community to loan photos, stories, objects, or momentos from life in Los Gatos in the 1960s to be featured in an exhibition celebrating the museum’s 60th anniversary. The Los Gatos Museum Association was founded in 1965 and had its first home at the adobe firehouse on Tait Avenue. We want to celebrate and uncover what made this creative time period so unique, whether that's our residents, businesses, or abundant bohemian history with the likes of John Steinbeck, etc.
Lexington Elementary, class of 1963.
