So, I'm making a trip to Mt. View, CA. next
Tuesday. Where is this
"History Center" located in Mt. View, and is it open for biz during
the daytime hours? I'd like to sneak out of silly meetings at lunch
or something and perhaps take a look. Anyone knoe the address and
details?
It's on the Moffett Field Air Force (?) base. I just checked their Web page
and evidently there are tours on Wednesdays, though I've always had much
more fun seeing the collection myself.
The first step is to check the Web page. It's
http://www.tcm.org/html/history/index.html
You'll need a graphical browser (Lynx will be unpleasant). Ironic but true.
The Web page talks about the tours and should have information about getting
in touch with one of the curators.
Getting in touch is the second step -- if you go on the public tours, you
will probably need to get a pass to the base. If you get a private tour,
you will definitely need a pass. I assume you're a US citizen. (Yes,
really! That's what happens when the military is involved.) You'd better
call early tomorrow.
