Huxley Dunsany & The Retro Roadshow

The Retro Roadshow presents “Tales From The Orchard: Innovations Inspired & Influenced by Apple”

 

Join us for “Tales from the Orchard,” a captivating exploration of Apple’s history and its far-reaching influence, presented by The Retro Roadshow Pop-Up Museum of Vintage Technology.

First, embark on an interactive journey through the history of Apple and several notable spin-off companies, with a special focus on their most intriguing, influential, and often overlooked products. Following the presentation, immerse yourself in a hands-on experience with a variety of functional vintage computers, including classic Apple II and Macintosh systems, a rare NeXT Cube, an ultra-rare BeBox, General Magic devices, and more.

This unique event offers a fun and informative experience for all.

This program is part of the Santa Clara County Library District’s Silicon Valley Reads 2025 event schedule.
