The Society of California Pioneers Museum and Library | The History of Golden Gate Park : Panel Presentation

As the city prepares to celebrate Golden Gate Park’s sesquicentennial, historians
Christopher Pollock and Woody LaBounty will explain how the transformation of
one thousand and seventeen acres of unpromising sandy soil and windswept dunes,
dismissed as “the outside lands” or “the great sand dunes” on early
maps, turned San Francisco into a truly cosmopolitan, world-class city. This
free, public event includes admission to Golden Gate Park in The Gilded Age,
The Society of California Pioneers’ contribution to the citywide GGP@150
celebration. Visit californiapioneers.org for information, details and directions.
