Actors dressed in turn-of-the-century attire will recreate scenes depicting the aftermath and response of Sacramentans to one of the largest disasters in American history- the San Francisco earthquake and fire.
On April 24, from 10:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., members of the California State Capitol Volunteer Association will present a historical re-enactment of the chaos that unfolded at the Capitol after the catastrophe.
Step back in time and witness costumed volunteers and staff recreate scenes in response to the disaster.
Meet Governor George Pardee as he receives a telegram from President Theodore Roosevelt offering $1 million for disaster relief. Attorney General Ulysses S. Webb, Secretary of State Charles Curry, and Treasurer Truman Reeves will be on hand to help the refugees, some of who camped out on the Capitol grounds and at Sutter’s Fort. Meet the women of Sacramento who assisted the San Francisco families to obtain meal tickets, clothing and blankets.
This event, held at the state Capitol, is free to the public.
