Description
Audio recording of "Stories of Druid Heights" event held at the Mill Valley Public Library on June 25th, 2018. The event was described on the Library website as follows: "Share your stories about the Muir Woods enclave where Alan Watts, Elsa Gidlow and other literary luminaries once lived. Or come and listen as others discuss this unique bohemian community. Author and former Druid Heights resident Hallie Iglehart Austen will moderate." The event begins with an introduction by History Room Librarian Cate Mayfield, followed by a brief talk by National Park Service Park Ranger and Marin Community Liaison Mia Monroe. Monroe provides historical background on Druid Heights and discusses the Golden Gate National Recreation Area's efforts to protect the site. Hallie Iglehart Austen then moderates a series of personal stories from people who lived at or visited Druid Heights during its heyday. Stories include those by: Elaine Belle, Fabrice Florin, Marcelina Martin, Diane McDonald, Roger Packer, Jennifer Spindell, Gerd Stern, and Jan Van Vlaenderen.
