Historic writing desk of Emily Hoppin added to Yolo County collection

The Yolo County Historical Collection at the Gibson House has acquired the original writing desk of Emily Hoppin. Hoppin was a prominent Woodland agriculturalist and activist active during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, contributing to the development of local civic and community organizations.

The addition of the desk returns a piece of regional history to public preservation in Yolo County, where Hoppin conducted much of her agricultural and community work.
