Point Richmond.....once
an island on San Francisco Bay, is now a neighborhood of
Richmond, California . Point Richmond is
that city's birthplace and today is it's "old
town". The Point Richmond History Association was
founded in 1979 by Donna Roselius and is dedicated to
promoting awareness of the community's exciting and
colorful history. To this purpose, we maintain a small
museum on the downtown Point Richmond Triangle that is
housed by the oldest commercial building in
Richmond. The little museum was saved from
destruction and moved to its current location in 1990
under the PRHA leadership of Jerry Cerkanowicz. It
is open on Thursdays 11:30 am to 2:00 pm and Saturdays
11:30 am to 2:00 pm. We invite you to join our
organization, with your membership you will receive a
subscription (five issues) to "This Point...in time",
our entertaining and informative newsletter.
Membership categories include Senior

From the President Bonnie Jo Cullison Last week someone attempted to move by hand the pendulum of the Wigwag closest to the Plunge. By forcing the pendulum they broke the armature inside the box. This will need to be replaced or repaired so the Wigwag can operate again. Dan Furtado, who repaired the Wigwags to working order in 2019, has removed the pendulum completely and will soon remove the box and take it to his shop for repairs. PRHA will be organizing some sort of fundraising when we know what the cost of the repair will be. Stay tuned. |
