"The Boys" History Tour

Join museum staff for a tour of the Los Gatos History Hall with a special emphasis on the history of local artists Frank Ingerson and George Dennison. "The boys," as their friends called them, moved to the Los Gatos Mountains in 1911 and called their home, Cathedral Oaks. The estate became a magnet for like-minded artists and creative types who lived nearby or came from out of town to escape their public lives. The boys were potentially the first common-law married gay couple in the nation.
