[font=&quot] The iconic Mount Diablo is nothing if not complex. This new exhibit includes some of the mountain's diverse qualities and intriguing history. It features antique surveying equipment and stories about the Mountain's Initial Point, over twenty historic survey maps related to the 1851 General Land Office (GLO) Initial Point and the 1852 U.S. Coast Survey Station Mount Diablo, photographs of unique plants and trees, and maps showing the growth of open space around Mount Diablo. Special displays are provided on the Diablo Beacon and the new outdoor treasure hunts called geocaching.[/font]

[font=&quot]Underwritten by the Lesher Foundation, the exhibit is a collaboration among the Museum of the San Ramon Valley, Mount Diablo Surveyors Historical Society, Mount Diablo Interpretive Association and Save Mount Diablo. Speakers from each of these groups will talk with visitors each Saturday from 10:30am to noon during the exhibit[/font]
