Set in the middle of a lush California valley, Danville, in the last century, has grown from an agrarian hamlet to a bustling town. On land that once belonged to Native peoples whose lives were upended by Spanish conquest, pioneers came for the Gold Rush and stayed for the fertile land. Farms and ranches took root, and a community arose. The Danville Grange No. 85, Patrons of Husbandry, promoted better farming practices and spurred on the founding of the town's first library. Nobel Prize-winning playwright Eugene O'Neill called Danville home when he wrote his final, great plays, including Long Day's Journey into Night, twenty years before a brand-new freeway led the charge into the modern era. Join local author Beverly Lane as she shares gems from Danville's past.
