Point Richmond.....once an
island on San Francisco Bay, is now a neighborhood of Richmond, California. Point Richmondis
that city's birthplace and today is it's "old
town". The Point Richmond History Association was
founded in 1979 by Donna Roselius and is dedicated to
promoting awareness of the community's exciting and
colorful history. To this purpose, we maintain a small
museum on the downtown Point Richmond Triangle that is
housed by the oldest commercial building in
Richmond. The little museum was saved from
destruction and moved to its current location in 1990
under the PRHA leadership of Jerry Cerkanowicz. It
is open on Thursdays 11:30 am to 2:00 pm and Saturdays
11:30 am to 2:00 pm. We invite you to join our
organization, with your membership you will receive a
subscription (five issues) to "This Point...in time",
our entertaining and informative newsletter.
