Community Programs

Six Programs a Year

Don’t miss this opportunity to become part of a vibrant community dedicated to the
exploration and celebration of our shared past.

Each our programs share a unique aspect of regional history, offering a diverse range of topics. Our lecturers are seasoned historians, archeologists, farmers, policy makers,
writers, artists, or amateur sleuths with intriguing stories to share. We encourage
audience participation. Ask questions, share perspectives, and engage in lively
discussions with fellow Delta enthusiasts.

We offer six programs a year – March, April, and May: September, October, and
November.

In 2025 we’ll participate in many events in partnership with other organizations
throughout the region. Check our Schedule of Events for dates and times.

Share Your Stories

Call to make an appointment. Tom Herzog often staffs the Resource Center every
Tuesday from 10 am to noon, but better to make an appointment first.

On Saturday, June 21 from 1 pm to 4 pm we’ll have the coffee pot and
conversation going for folks to come by and share a story, peek at our holdings, or talk about ways to engage the community. Have photos to share or other items from the Delta? Bring them, too. We’ll provide coffee, tea, and some snacks. And hopefully, a new scanner to digitize your images. If we can recruit some new volunteers, we’ll expand the resource center openings to at least once a month.  Check out our Facebook Group for updates.

Community Engagement

Community engagement is vital because it fosters a sense of connection, shared history, and collective responsibility. By collaborating with organizations like the Courtland Pear Fair, the Annual Archives Crawl, the Sacramento Area History Consortium, the Sacramento History Museum, the Locke Foundation, the Delta Protection Commission, Reveal California, and numerous historical societies and libraries, we expand our programming and create opportunities for meaningful interaction with the public.

Through these partnerships, we not only preserve and celebrate history but also make it relevant to today’s communities. We are especially committed to engaging students and the next generation, ensuring that historical knowledge and appreciation continue to thrive.

Do you have ideas on how we can enhance our outreach and programming? Join us in
our efforts and be part of shaping the future of history in our region!
