MONTHLY PROGRAM

John Martini

Lincoln Park was once home to “City Cemetery” at Lands End, a wind-blown collection of fraternal burial plots, a Chinese cemetery, and the city’s Potter’s Field. Join historian and author John Martini for an illustrated talk about the history and demise of this nearly forgotten burial ground at the outermost end of San Francisco’s Outside Lands.

John Martini is a native San Franciscan and a lifelong researcher of the history of California and the American West. He worked as a national park ranger for more than 25 years. Now retired, John appears on television history specials and continues to volunteer for the National Park Service. He has written several books and is currently writing a book about Lincoln Park.
