At 3 pm hear Glen Matteson’s account of the events that occurred when some railborne military guns were fired on the Central Coast. Then enjoy one of the finest silent movies ever made. Buster Keaton stars in “The General”, a movie based on the Great Locomotive Chase which occurred in 1862. Keaton was famous for doing his own stunts and the ones in this movie are exciting (and dangerous). The American Film Institute rates this movie as one of the top 10 comedies of all time and we are proud to present it as the first in our series of MOVIES AT THE MUSEUM.
