厄尔·斯坦利·加德纳，这位传奇的《佩里·梅森》系列创造者，在其生命的后半程爱上了萨克拉门托-圣华金三角洲。被那里的静谧水道与激发创意的宁静所吸引，他乘坐屋船探索这片区域，拍照、写作，并与从洛克到朱斯蒂餐馆的当地居民结下深厚情谊。加德纳的遗产不仅存于数以百万计的读者之中，也留在他曾走过的三角洲岸边的记忆里。

Erle Stanley Gardner, the legendary creator of Perry Mason, spent his later years falling in love with the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta. Gardner’s legacy lives on not only in millions of readers, but in the memories he left along the Delta’s shores.

Inspired by a visit to Locke, followed by a deep dive into Locke’s colorful history, a talented group of Cal Berkeley students have created a charming little booklet entitled "LOCKED IN TIME – A Tale of How a Little Girl Met and Made Friends of Connie King."

Women in Locke excelled at multitasking. Despite often having over 8 children, they managed family duties and found time to sew and knit.

During the prohibition era, Locke became popular for illegal bars, gambling, casinos, and opium dens due to the lack of police in the town. Once an illegal gambling casino, the museum now safeguards many artifacts.
