Attend a compelling presentation with historian Ann Stansell at Rancho Camulos Museum as she explores the lasting impact of the 1928 St. Francis Dam collapse and the 1963 Baldwin Hills Dam failure. Through historic sites, personal accounts, and evolving forms of commemoration, she will examine how communities grapple with loss and preserve the memory of these tragedies.

Following the talk, guests are invited to visit Piru Cemetery, where many victims of the St. Francis Dam disaster are laid to rest, for a meaningful opportunity to reflect on this pivotal chapter in local history. Ms. Stansell will relate the stories of these victims and lead the group in a commemorative remembrance.
