2010 Events:

 

 

Join us for our historically accurate "Hot Time in the Rail Town Tonight" evening on October 9, 2010, at the Tiburon Fire Department. Your participation in this historic fundraising event is essential to sustain the Belvedere-Tiburon Landmarks for our community.

Tickets are on sale at the Landmarks Office. For members, tickets for the dinner dance are $125 which includes also $25 worth of raffle tickets. For non members tickets for dinner dance are $125 and raffle tickets can be purchased separately. So please join Landmarks and come and enjoy the festivities with us!

We are fortunate to have the opportunity to host this years' event in the Tiburon Fire Department located in the old rail yard. In 1921 fires swept through the North Western Pacific rail yard and another consuming Main Street the same year. With the original volunteer fire department operating out of the rail yard, the need for Tiburon and Belvedere to form their own fire departments was realized. Belvedere established their first Fire Dept in 1936 and Tiburon in 1941.

Seventeen men comprised the first roster of volunteer firefighters in Tiburon.  Many were employed by NWP or had businesses in town and lived on the hillside above the railroad yard. Volunteers were alerted by the NWP air horn alarm system from the rail yard and a good compliment of men could always be depended on to respond.

Concert Series

In the Fall and Spring each year the Landmarks Society in conjunction with Tiburon Heritage and Arts produces six to eight concerts. The concerts are held at the Old St. Hilary's Landmark and range from guitarists to choirs. The shows are in a beautiful setting and not to be missed!

House Tour

Every year or two the Landmarks Society holds a House Tour based here on unique structures on the Tiburon Peninsula. In 2008, the house tour was on West Shore Road at the site of the Cod Fishery and was a great success. In 2009, the house tour was the History Walk starting at Belvedere Park. In 2010, the house tour was of those houses that were associated with the Tiburon Rail yard and the heart of old Tiburon.
