History Museum highlights ‘Camelot’
The Los Altos History Museum’s latest exhibition, “One Brief Shining Moment: JFK’s Camelot in Early Los Altos,” is on display in the J. Gilbert Smith House gallery through June 11.
Jacqueline Kennedy first coined the term “Camelot” to refer to Kennedy and his administration’s courage and wisdom.
“Many people viewed the JFK administration as the ideal government, indicative of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table,” said exhibition curator Jordan Grealish. “Hopes for a government where people of many different talents came together to serve the public with honor and high ideals was also reflected in the early days of Los Altos.”
Visitors can view Kennedy memorabilia – including a signed letter from the president and a hat from his campaign – and government documents and photos of glamorous social engagements from Los Altos in the 1960s.
The Los Altos History Museum is located at 51 S. San Antonio Road. Hours are noon to 4 p.m. Thursdays through Sundays. Admission is free.
