2021 "Stories from the Past"
SFTP 2021 Interviewees.jpg

In the late 1800s, immigrants came from far and wide to build a life for their families in Santa Clara Valley, the Valley of Hearts Delight, including Morgan Hill and San Martin. Through their hard work, sacrifice and resourcefulness, they helped create a strong community built on respect, generosity and community spirit. They set an example for generations to follow. Their stories provide valuable lessons for us today. This film was funded by a grant from the Santa Clara County Historic Grant Program.
