PLACERVILLE, CA (MPG) - American River Conservancy (ARC) invites the community to enjoy a special event, “Think History’s Dull? Think Again! – An Evening with Author Alan Ehrgott” from 5:30 to 7 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 28 in Placerville, CA. 

Ehrgott, who is American River Conservancy's retired founding director, will present stories from his newly released historical novel through an immersive photo presentation blending history, historical fiction and personal memoir. Designed for curious minds ages 12 and up, the event brings early California to life while raising funds for Phase 2 of American River Conservancy's Education Center at Wakamatsu Farm.

“History is full of risk, courage, and discovery — the kind of real human stories that stay with you,” said Alan Ehrgott. “I’m excited to share this journey and give back to ARC’s education programs that help people connect with the land and its stories."
