<br><br>ITS is the proud sponsor of the <a href="http://www.villadebranciforte.org/" target="new" ><b>Villa de Branciforte</b></a>
Preservation Society and their good works; Seeking recognition and preservation of the unique character and history of the Villa
de Branciforte area.
Founded in 1797, Villa de Branciforte is a unique occurrence in Spanish Colonial history.
Unlike the Spanish missions, the Villa was secular, and unlike the other two original secular settlements,
the pueblos of Los Angeles and San Jose, Branciforte was a "villa," the only villa to be created during the
Spanish Colonial era in California. The Society in partnership with CalTrans and the State of California has set up
Villa de Branciforte Historical Landmark signs on the freeway. They are working on funding to set up more signs locally,
make a brochure and map of the specific sites in the area and secure a privately owned lot full of artifacts that is for sale.
<br>Check out the History; unique people, places, politics and culture. Call Deborah at ITS for donations, bequeaths, or to volunteer.

<i>The Institute for Traditional Studies researches, performs and promotes traditional arts education.
Our logo (above) was originally designed by Robert Donovan (Bob) Thomas,
who was a founding member of the Institute.
Though the original drawing was lost; an embossing stamp remained. Melissa Fischbach, who knew
Robert since birth has copied the stamp design as close as possible.
Bob Thomas is most recognized for his famous logo
(Skull with lightning bolt) that he designed for the Grateful Dead, (rock band).</i>
