Sacramento River delta Historical Society

The Sacramento River Delta Historical Society is a non-profit organization dedicated to safeguarding the rich and diverse history of the Sacramento River Delta. We strive to foster greater public appreciation for the Delta's unique cultural and historical legacy by collecting, preserving, and sharing the stories that shape its identity.

Through educational programs, publications, and community events, we connect residents and visitors with the people, industries, and traditions that have influenced the region. Our mission extends beyond preservation—we aim to celebrate the Delta's heritage while promoting stewardship of its future.

The Society’s Resource Center, located at the Jean Harvie Community Center in Walnut Grove, serves as a hub for historical research, housing archives, artifacts, maps, photographs, and oral histories that document the life and evolution of the Delta.

Whether you are a lifelong resident, a curious traveler, or a passionate student of history, we welcome you to discover, engage, and be part of preserving the enduring spirit of the Sacramento River Delta. From Freeport to Rio Vista—through the communities of Clarksburg, Hood, Randall, Courtland, Vorden, Locke, Walnut Grove, Ryde, Isleton, and beyond—each town weaves together the rich and vibrant story of this remarkable region.

Preservation of the past.
