If you're a local history buff and are looking for a good read or movie to enjoy over the holidays, we have some suggestions for you.
For Book Lovers
The Morgan Hill Historical Society invites you to browse our Books section. When you're ready to borrow or buy a new history book (nonfiction or fiction), take advantage of two local book resources. The Steve Tate Morgan Hill Library and BookSmart of Morgan Hill, an indie bookstore. Library Manager Heather Geddes and BookSmart owners Cinda Meister and Brad Jones enjoy sharing local history with our community through books, author events, and more. Happy reading!
For Movie Lovers
Whether you are a newcomer or a long-time resident of Morgan Hill or San Martin, if you enjoy local history and heritage, now you can add movie watching to your holiday season celebrations.
Our newest documentary, History Makers, explores the origin of our city and the diverse group of people who overcame great obstacles to preserve its history. Our oral history series, Stories from the Past, is a fascinating mosaic of memories recounted by local residents of their family's immigrant heritage and wide-ranging experiences putting down roots in South Santa Clara County. All of our documentaries are funded by grants and are available to view on-demand at no charge. Enjoy!
