The Sakauye Family Farmhouse doesn’t look like much right now, raised up on blocks at History Park in San Jose with its roof covered by a green tarp. It’s not even whole — the “mud room” was removed when it was transported, and sits in a parking lot waiting to be reattached to the main house.

But that’s the funny thing about historic preservation. It’s not just about saving buildings or artifacts. It’s about preserving the stories and memories that happened there and using them to create a link to the present.

History San Jose CEO Bill Schroh has told me he’s eager to get the house restored so it can be curated, bringing the stories of Eiichi Sakauye’s family farm to life as part of the education programs at History Park. But that’s going to require more fundraising, and that effort it already under way.

On Sunday and again May 27, the Japanese American Museum of San Jose and the Preservation Action Council are teaming up to offer walking tours of San Jose’s historic Japantown. The 10 a.m. tours will be led by JAMsj Executive Director Vanessa Hatakeyama and PACSJ Executive Director Ben Leech, with proceeds benefitting the Sakaueye Farmhouse Fund. Get more information or tickets at www.preservation.org/eventpage.

And this Saturday, you can see the Sakauye house itself during the annual South Bay AANHPI Festival — a collaboration between the Chinese Historical and Cultural Project, the Japanese American Museum of San Jose and Mosaic America at History Park. Admission is free to the festival, which runs 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. and features performances, cuisine and talks on Asian American, Native Hawaiian, Pacific Islander heritage and the role of those communities in the Santa Clara Valley.

49ERS STAR ADDED TO LINEUP: When Laura Britt talks about the State of the 49ers at the Dwight Clark Legacy Series event next week in San Jose, she’ll be talking to someone who is very invested in that topic: quarterback Brock Purdy.

The 49ers star has joined the lineup of the May 20 event at the Hammer Theatre Center in downtown San Jose, which will feature the presentation of the Dwight Clark Award to Pro Bowl fullback Kyle Juszcycyk. There’ll also be a conversation among the guys who made their names in the trenches for the red and gold, including Randy Cross, Harris Barton, Derrick Deese, Bryant Young, Brentson Buckner, and Dwaine Board.

Organizer Kirk Reynolds tells me the guys are already getting back into the locker room groove, sharing a quote from Brentson Buckner, a 49ers defensive lineman from 1998-2000: “I smashed Deese when we were playing, talking trash, and I will smash him now. You know, it was always fun to be with those guys, and getting a chance to talk to more trash with them will be like putting us back in the locker room again.”

You can get tickets at DwightClarkAward.com or by visiting the Hammer Theatre Center box office.

FOR THE TREE HUGGERS: It’s said the best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago, and the second best time is now. How about Saturday, which is National Love a Tree Day? San Jose manufacturing company TransPak is partnering with Our City Forest at 9 a.m. Saturday to plant trees at Ocala STEAM Academy in San Jose. Volunteers are welcome, but you need to arrive with appropriate and work clothes. You can sign up and get more details at ourcityforest.eventbrite.com.

The tree-planting is part of a celebration of TransPak’s $500,000 donation to One Tree Planted, which enabled the planting of 400,000 trees in Northern California forests impacted by wildfires this past January and Februrary. TransPak, by the way, manufactures custom shipping packaging, including crates. That requires a lot of cardboard and wood, so it’s nice to see them taking care of the trees.

ART AND MUSIC: MACLA, the Latino-themed art space in downtown San Jose, will hold the Latinx Art Now! auction Saturday night at its gallery at 510 S. First St. Nearly three dozen pieces will be up for bid in the silent and live auctions from artists including Fernanda Martinez, Erin Salazar, Daniel Garcia, Jet Martinez and Rayos Magos. Doors open at 6 p.m., and you can get tickets and more details at www.maclaarte.org.

And if you’re looking for a good time in Campbell, this is the weekend to do it. “Boogie: Campbell’s Music Festival” has gone through a lot of different names in its 47 years — do you remember the Prune Festival? — but it’s always proven to be a lot of fun. There will be four stages for entertainment situated along Campbell Avenue downtown, with lots of food booths and beer and wine, on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Head to www.campbellboogie.com for more details or to purchase drink tickets in advance.
