	After many years of research, Dorothy Lowe, a former teacher and long-time Templeton resident, who has long maintained an interest in the history of California's Central Coast, wrote about the first joint maneuvers of the United States Army and California's National Guard.
Between 1904 and 1912, the troops passed through Templeton on their way from the San Francisco presidio to the area that we now know as Atascadero. The book, titled Camp Atascadero, is $20.
A 172-page book on early public schools, Readin' 'Ritin' 'Rithmetic, includes two photographs of the first school in Templeton, as well as one-room schools in the northern part of San Luis Obispo County. Included are many memories by former students and many photographs of the schools and students. This book is a bargain at $20.
	Images of America: Paso Robles, a 128-page book written by two retired teachers, is available at the museum. The area's rich history is portrayed through more than 200 images from public and private collections. Like Templeton, Paso Robles developed steadily and quickly after 1886, when the railroad arrived and town lots were auctioned. One chapter, devoted to agriculture, contains photographs from several outlying areas, including Templeton. This book sells for $21.

Many sizes of both tee-shirts and sweatshirts are available in two different designs and colors—white and light gray. These quality shirts are $12 (tee-shirts) and $20 (sweatshirts). Extra large sizes are slightly more. Stop in and check them out.

We also have attractive embroidered ball caps. They are high-quality mesh hats with an adjustable band, which any recipient would be proud to wear. We are certain to have the perfect one for you! The mesh caps are $12. Higher profile caps with the same design are $15 and visors are $10. They all come in several different colors.
