Ep 133 | The People Who Preserve Pinole

With just under 20,000 residents, the City of Pinole is everything you come to expect from a small Bay Area town. Nestled between Richmond and Hercules, Pinoles history stretches back to include some of the earliest native settlers in California's history. The city's rich history is preserved by the Pinole Historical Society. Today our guest is Jeff Rubin, the president of the Pinole Historical Society and the man in charge of the Pinole History Museum. We talk to Jeff about the history of this small town and what makes it such a great place to live.
