In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, leaded-glass memorial windows were among Louis Comfort Tiffany’s most highly visible and sought-after works of art. To meet the growing demand for his firm’s coveted window designs, and to accommodate a variety of budgets, Tiffany frequently adapted and reused existing design cartoons for new window commissions.

The event will open at 2:30pm to give you time to enjoy the Tiffany windows before the lecture. After the event, join us outside the Chapel where you can meet Dr. Rideout and enjoy a glass of wine or beer. This lecture is co-sponsored by Alibi Books, who will have related books for sale at the lecture.

In 1854, Mare Island’s first Commander (later Admiral), David G. Farragut arrived on a land that was low and flat. Mare Island’s Alden Park, home to a fine collection of trees from many continents and climates of the world, was named for Commander James Alden who carried on Farragut’s tradition of enticing ship captains to bring trees from their voyages. More than a century later, touring the nearly 200 tree species that now live on Mare Island is like touring the world.
