New exhibit looks at 100-year history of Los Altos Hills farm and nature preserve

Hidden Villa, the environmental educational nonprofit, working farm and wilderness preserve in Los Altos Hills, is celebrating its centennial this year.

From Oct. 3 through March 9, the Los Altos History Museum is paying tribute to this local institution with its new exhibition “Rooted in Time – Journey through Hidden Villa,” which explores the history of the site, including its role as a homeland of indigenous peoples, and the story of the Duvenecks, who transformed it from family residence to a social-justice hub and camp for many children over the decades.

Stories, photos and artifacts are on display, in collaboration with Hidden Villa’s archives. 

Oct. 3 to March 9, Thursday-Sunday, noon to 4 p.m., Los Altos History Museum, 51 S. San Antonio Road, Los Altos; free; losaltoshistory.org.
