MB Boissevain

Marin's First Farm Advisor, M.B. Boissevain
M.B. Boissevain was the first farm advisor in Marin County and served as agronomist and community leader from 1920 to 1950. During this time, Boissevain captured approximately 500 photographic images of Marin agriculture including its people and farmscapes. These images provide a unique opportunity to embrace Marin's agrarian roots and present bounty, as well as take an intimate look at what life was like for Marin ranchers and farmers during the 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s.
