Longtime Carmel resident Monica Hudson will reflect on her years on the Monterey Peninsula as she talks about her 2006 book “Carmel-by-the-Sea”, part of the Images of America pictorial series.  Ms. Hudson moved to the ranch at Point Lobos from her native Switzerland in 1972 as the bride of John Hudson, a member of one of the area’s pioneering families.  She has enjoyed a long career with California State Parks and is a sought-after guide in interpreting the cultural and natural history, architecture, and art of the Monterey Peninsula.  Come listen to this natural storyteller as she delves into Carmel’s past.

Travel through the years as historic preservation consultant Kent Seavey traces the many layers of Carmel’s significant architecture.  Ranging from Mission and Mission Revival to Tudor Revival and Spanish Romantic Revival styles, Carmel is a microcosm of California’s architectural heritage.  Taking advantage of native materials and the lush forest landscape, learn why artists, academics and more decided to build in Carmel.  Mr. Seavey recently wrote “Carmel:  A History in Architecture,” part of the Images of America pictorial series, and currently teaches art and architectural history of the Monterey Peninsula at Monterey Peninsula College.
