Back in the mid-1950s, a remote and beautiful California valley known as Berryessa supported a community of farmers with its fertile land….that is until the region was forever changed with the construction of the Monticello Dam.
A new exhibition, “Dorothea Lange and Pirkle Jones: Death of a Valley,” captures the valley’s transformation and is on view at the Booth Museum of Western Art.
“City Lights” producer Summer Evans discusses this remarkable history with curator Mark Medley, who describes the communities that once lived in Berryessa Valley.
