On January 30, 1922, Sacramento experienced an unusual winter storm that left the city, and places like Sutter’s Fort, blanketed with a couple inches of snow. The Sacramento Union newspaper published the next day that since Sacramento recorded an average temperature of 40 degrees Fahrenheit that month, January 1922 was the coldest month in the last 44 years up until that point.

While at the waterfront in Old Sacramento, Shawn discussed how Sacramento grew as the closest major city to the gold fields during the California Gold Rush and how it was a transportation hub for steamboats and stage lines transporting gold hopefuls and supplies. Shawn also notes the status of the Sacramento River and how it is much lower than it was two weeks ago. #SacHistoryMuseum #onthisday #goldrush #sacramento #oldsacramento

Happy “official” 176th birthday, Sacramento! On February 27, 1850, Sacramento became an incorporated city in the territory of California. California, however, did not become a state until September 9, 1850. Sacramento City was founded along Sacramento River’s waterfront, where Old Sacramento is today, in December 1848 when John Sutter Jr. and Samuel Brannan hired Captain William H. Warner, Lt. William Tecumseh Sherman, and Lt. Edward O. Ord to survey the land from Sutter’s Fort to the Sacramento

Shawn gives an update on how the Sacramento River looks this week viewing from the West Sacramento side opposite of Old Sacramento. The river is a lot higher than a couple weeks ago due some recent storms. Rain has subsided for now but we are in for some more rain in the near future. Please note, we did have some slight issues with our audio equipment. Offering content on location in a variety of weather conditions sometimes has its setbacks. #SacHistoryMuseum #museum #sacramento #history #oldsa
