Description
Chuck Oldenburg was born in 1929 and moved with his family to the Homestead Valley community of Mill Valley in 1963. Since 2000 he has been known as Homestead's unofficial historian. For many years, Chuck commuted to his job at the Richmond research laboratory of Standard Oil Company of California. His oral history describes his active involvement in the historic Homestead Valley community, including his service on the boards of the Land Trust and the Community Association, and his publication of over 180 historical articles in the monthly Homestead Headlines newsletter. Chuck also describes his involvement with the Mill Valley Historical Society, as a board member, creator of 10 guidebooks for the annual "Walk into History," tour guide for 13 years, the author of semiannual Historical Society newsletters as well as biweekly history emails known as "Vignettes."
