1964 Tour of Clayton

Feeling a little stir-crazy while sheltering in place at home? Checkout this 1964 Tour of Clayton, CA by former Society President Dick Ellis and friend of the Museum, Bob Daugherty. While the population was only 1023 people, the town’s distinct features remain recognizable today.
