Materials at the California History Section–Folsom Focus

Love history? Want to see amazing artifacts and possibly win prizes? Than the Sacramento Archives Crawl is right up your alley! Mark us on your calendars for this year's crawl, which will have the theme, "It Came From the Archives!?" on Saturday, October 7, 2017 from 10 am–4 pm. You won't be disappointed, but if you don't believe us, take a sneak peek at our display's highlights!

Did you miss us on Museum Day? No worries! You can still drop by the State Capitol to see our treasures in the exhibit "Out of the Vault." Keep us in mind for Museum Day next year!
