Santa Cruz Mountains History and Info
With some of the money I do make off selling my clothing, I put towards buying a little bit of History. I have been purchasing old post cards, LP Records, posters, and nick knacks that date back to as early 1911. I have posted a few below but when I get some more time I will start adding more images from my growing collection. There IS SO MUCH to add to this page and I have more in my collection I would like to share. I will slowly add pictures links and info. Honestly it comes down to I could dedicate a whole website to the history behind the SC Mountains. If you have a piece of history you would like to share with site please contact me and I will post.
