Information at ucanr.edu/sites/gsobinfo Tustin Historical Society features talk on Madame Helena Modjeska By Guy Ball The Tustin Area Historical So- ciety offers an entertaining eve- ning with Orange County histori- an Rob Brown, discussing the life of Helene Modjeska, on Friday, Sept. 27 from 7 to 8:30 p.m. at the Tustin Area Museum. Madame Helena Modjeska was Orange County’s first internation- al celebrity back in the late 1880s. A Shakespearean actress, she and her artistic friends left Poland, which was under Russian Czar domination (and theater censor- ship), and came to America in 1876. She eventually settled in Orange County – moving to Anaheim and the hills off of Santiago Canyon Road, then to Tustin and finally Newport Beach. Her canyon home was called Arden and it is now an OC Parks historic site located in Modjeska Canyon, which was named for her. Rob Brown is an award-win- ning OC Parks volunteer at the Helena Modjeska Historic House. He has become a well-respected expert on Madame Modjeska and her life in Orange County. His talk will cover Modjeska's impact on Orange County and her time in Tustin and her social cir- cle of friends. He will also share unique photos and memorabilia Tickets for September’s Night at the Museum are $20 and must be purchased in advance at Tu- stinHistory.com. The Museum is located at 395 El Camino Real in Old Town Tustin. “Branch Out” at 2024 Family History event Registration is open for the annual Orange County Family History "Branch Out" event to be held on Saturday, Sept. 21, at the Orange County FamilySe- arch Center located at the Orange California Stake of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 674 S.
