Aimee Edgeworth, will present: "West Hemet Unveiled: Ostrich Farms, Horse Racing, and Hollywood Legends - The Cawstons and Andersons' Unique Legacies (1909-1930s)"

Aimee, a dedicated advocate for family history and community arts, is a fifth-generation Californian enriching her hometown with the vibrant culture of the Pearl Center for Creative Arts.

Join Aimee as she takes us on a captivating journey through early 1900s Hemet, where everyday life and local lore come alive with tales of adaptation and community spirit. Delving into the transformation from a bustling ostrich farm to a key agricultural and entertainment hub, she explores how Hemet evolved into a center of industry and creativity. Through her family's vivid anecdotes and cherished traditions, Aimee illuminates the era’s spirit, offering a rich glimpse into the vibrant life that shaped this unique Californian community.
