Join us as we celebrate the opening of the exhibit which will include photos and memorabilia from our many years of sharing Sausalito’s history with the third grade students in our local public schools.

Mike Moyle presents the “Legacy of the Portuguese in Sausalito”.

A great evening of fascinating information about the roles of the Portuguese in Sausalito and Southern Marin from Dairy Farmers to Fire Chiefs and more!

Additional Resources for the 7/9/24 Sausalito Portuguese Legacy Talk by Mike Moyle, IDESST Historian 10 July 2024

Thanks to those who were able to join us last night at the IDESST Sausalito Portuguese Cultural Center for my presentation about the legacy of the Portuguese community in Sausalito. Although my live presentation was not recorded, I have taped a version which is available on YouTube here: •

In addition, here are recordings of three more recent presentations I have given which address related topics:

• Southern Marin's Portuguese Roots," Mill Valley Historical Society, March 1, 2023: https://youtu.be/EL0y5L6Q7M8?si=sAAB1DdIl1GD89rY

o Here is a list of additional resources prepared for that talk: https://bit.ly/49LgNyC

• "Marin's Dairy History," Marin History Museum, April 25, 2023: https://youtu.be/dFiUhTI2xiA?si=cG6MuUGr5CivN9ib

• "The New Portuguese Dairy Mural Wall on Tiburon and Southern Marin's Portuguese Dairy History," City of Tiburon, July 14, 2023: https://youtu.be/sWhT6XZhBp0?si=sGUilF_Tg2-qh-5j

In my talk last night about Sausalito's Portuguese legacy, I was only able to share stories about the eight individuals shown on the above cover slide, and only limited information about each of them. Needless to say, there have been so many more individuals of Portuguese descent who, over the years, have played important roles in the history of Southern Marin, and who also deserve to be recognized for their contributions.

Many of those individuals have been covered in materials I have prepared for the Center over the last ten years. Several are mentioned in the Guidebook for the Sausalito Portuguese Heritage Walking Tour (the 2 "Guidebook") that we created in 2014 (for a digital copy of the Guidebook, see https://bit.ly/3kyMBix). Over the intervening years, others have been discussed in the hundreds of posts about Sausalito's Portuguese heritage that we have shared on the Center's Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/idesst). This document provides links to some of that information.

Feel free to contact me with any questions about Sausalito's Portuguese history. Needless to say, we especially welcome inquiries and information about individuals of Portuguese descent who were connected with our community.
