Sutter’s Fort in Sacramento, California | April 1979 & May 2015
Excerpt
from my grandmother’s travel journal on April 25, 1979: “Into
Sacramento center to look at Fort Sutter – parked in front of the
hospital across the street and went in with the handheld earphone guide
for more than one hour! The fort is well restored and holds lots of
original tools, weapons, documents, photos, etc.”
Only
a few things have changed at Sutter’s Fort since my grandparents
visited in 1979, with one of them being the disappearance of the freight
wagon that used to be on display. According to a park ranger, the old
freight wagon is now housed at McClellan Air Force Base.
