| The Mountain View Historical Association celebrated its 50th birthday last week with burgers, good times and more than half the City Council in attendance.
As reported to the Voice by Robert Weaver, the group held its celebratory barbecue on Aug. 5 at the Adobe Building with more than 100 people in attendance. The council members took turns flipping burgers, Weaver said.
The Historical Association was founded in 1957 as a nonprofit dedicated to gathering and preserving the city's history. The renovation and preservation of the Adobe Building itself, located at Moffett Boulevard and Central Expressway, is one of the association's achievements. The group has also published "Milestones: a History of Mountain View" and it established and staffed the Mountain View History Center at the downtown library.
Plans for a city heritage museum at Cuesta Annex are now in the early stages.
