Bowen, Jerry
[733]
[WAYITWAS-2007-733]
Among the collections at the Vacaville Heritage Council and the Solano County Genealogy Society at the Old Town Hall on East Main Street are yearbooks from Solano County Schools dating back as far as the late 1890s. These publications are a treasure that help historians gain some insight into past attitudes, styles of dress, and pride in school and community and to perhaps learn something valuable from the "good old days."

[WAYITWAS-2007-730]
In my last column, we went over the history of the Perry family and the house that was built in the 1860s that still stands, although probably not for long. The last of the Perry family, Clyde, will vacate the house just before demolition, likely in the near future.

Bowen, Jerry
[721]
[WAYITWAS-2007-721]
History is a dynamic subject with many traps regarding accuracy along the way. A lot of items related to history in Solano County have popped up lately, so, I thought that I would take the opportunity to talk about some of those bits and pieces.

[WAYITWAS-2007-718]
I've done a couple of stories in the past on Matthew Turner, but for some of the new arrivals in Solano County he probably is unknown even though he built more sailing ships than any other man in America.

Bowen, Jerry
[711]
[WAYITWAS-2007-711]
