The diversity of California, today, is rooted in the events Sutter’s Fort is connected to in the 1840s.

Join our interpreter, Jared, and see that, by looking at the significant events associated with the Fort, we can see how and why John Sutter and other European Americans came to California, why the Fort was built, what jobs made the Fort operational, why the Fort was abandoned in 1850, and the impact the Fort had on the Indigenous population of the Sacramento Valley. Let’s learn about how the diversity and complexity of Sutter’s Fort has left a lasting impact on how and why we study the past. This program is geared towards 4th and 5th grades but all participants are welcome.

Join Sutter's Fort virtually as they dive into how Sutter’s Forts agricultural businesses in Mexican California, and the conflict and opportunities that came with them, contributed to the California we know today.

The Museum will discuss the hide and tallow trade, the process of turning wheat into flour, and how sailors contributed to the work done at the Fort. This program is geared to Grades 3-5.

Art is the colorful display of individuality that adds magic to our world and our community. S.L.A.M. (Showcase of Local Arts and Movement) is a showcase and creative safe space allowing like minded individuals and artists to express their creativity through visual elements including stationary artwork, vendor booths, fashion displays, unique sound, and performance.

This unique space will bridge the gap in the multifaceted local arts community by bringing both artists and lovers of art together to enjoy a night of love, peace, and artistic magic.

This time, we are not only celebrating the arts, but kicking off the Summer season with a celebration of the ability to gather together after a tough year of COVID separation. COVID safety restrictions will be strictly enforced with temperature checks and masks in place.
