DECEMBER NEWS & EVENTS
As the weather chills, the trees turn and drop their leaves, and the flurry of events that signal the end to another year increases, we should take pause to reflect on the blessings that come with living in such a beautiful and historic town. As is stated in our General Plan, "Claremont didn't just happen". A concerted and intentional effort by our citizens over the years have helped to create a sense of place that honors our cultural, natural and architectural heritage.
We invite you to join us in helping to preserve what is important to our community and what makes it a great place to live and work! As Margaret Mead said, "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."
The next few weeks offer many opportunities to experience Claremont's cultural attributes through art, craft, music and the support of educational programs that give back to to the kids who are the future of our very special community. Please support our Heriage and enjoy one or more of the events listed below.
Claremont Heritage is an inclusive community organization dedicated to preserving and celebrating our cultural, architectural and natural heritage - see how you can become involved HERE! Best regards,David ShearerExecutive Director

Claremont Heritage is pleased to present Photography by Chris Darrow - a collection entitled Vanishing West.
Darrow, a multi-faceted and gifted local musician, has for decades been augmenting his auditory accomplishments with a keen visual documentation of the world around him. This selection of images represents a segment of an incredible body of work that Chris has compiled while touring across the US. Curated by Claremont Heritage Executive Director, David Shearer, this exhibition visually documents our past and the relics of our culture that are often lost in the progress of time. The large format works will be available for sale.
