Join us for our biggest fundraiser of the year to support the Spring Valley Historical Society and maintenance for the Bancroft Ranch House Museum! The sale will take place at the Bancroft Ranch House Museum, located at the end of Memory Lane, just south of Hwy 94, off the Bancroft Dr. exit. Spread the word and bring your friends for great bargains and a welcoming atmosphere! We’re still accepting donations of gently used items—anything you would want to buy! Please avoid donating broken or unusable items, as disposing of these adds extra work for our team. We could also use volunteers to help with setting up tables, moving boxes, and pricing items in the week leading up to the event (November 4th-8th). If you’re free anytime after 9 a.m., we’d love to have your help! Thank you for your support!

It's only been a few days since President Trump's 25% tariffs on foreign cars took effect. But the import surcharge has led to some immediate changes, including layoffs and pauses in car shipments.

Demonstrations took place across the country, uniting a myriad of criticisms of the Trump administration under one message: "Hands off!"

The children's book author best known for her Oliver and Amanda Pig series has died at 87. Van Leeuwen wrote nearly 60 books, some of which sold millions of copies.

The "Hands Off" protests rallied against the administration's spending cuts, mass layoffs and other policies.

More than 1,200 “Hands Off!” demonstrations were planned Saturday by more than 150 groups. They include civil rights organizations, labor unions, LBGTQ+ advocates, veterans and elections activists.

The Hall, formally known as The Jacobs Music Center, was supposed to open last November.
