Sutter's Fort


Sutter's Fort is in basically Downtown Sacramento (California's state captial) was established in 1839 as a trading post in what was known as Alta California. John Sutter built it and it opened in 1841. After gold was found at Sutter's Mill in 1848, the fort was abandonded. In 1891, the Native Sons of the Golden West purchased and rehablitated the Fort. The repair efforts were done in 1893 and given to the State of California:

Sutter's Fort is an amazing place that oozes with the history of the state of California.

  14. Interesting - I never knew about Sutter's Fort. I looked it up - it really *is* in downtown Sacramento (i.e., the "box" be freeways and the rivers). Thanks for sharing it, and for participating in WW.

  15. Neat! Thanks for sharing and linking on Amanda's Books and More!
    I used to take my kids to a living open air museum like this one of South Africa's pioneer days. I think it closed down, but it was fun to buy bread that was milled from the old mill and baked traditionally in an outdoor wood burning oven. They also made old fashioned candles and laundry soap.
    Here's a link to one of my posts: http://1camera1mom.blogspot.com/2014/05/open-air-museum-south-africa-part-2.html

  17. I liked reading the little historic trivia about Sutter's Fort as well as the photos. The olden way of life preserved inside the fort gave me a peek into what would have prevailed in those times.
    I am visiting here from the #WordlessWednesday link up.

  26. I am so glad to have been born in this era I can not imagine how tough they had it, yet then I wonder were they the lucky ones? As technology becomes more and more of our daily lives I have to wonder if it is the simpler times I crave? . #ABloggingGoodTime

  28. That's cool! We used to have an "old world" place near Sydney called "Old Sydney Town". I don't think it exists anymore. I should look that up. Plenty of other historic stuff though (although our history is relatively young of course). Just over 200 years.
