Step back in time and witness volunteers and staff of the Capitol Museum costumed in the attire of the period re-enacting scenes in response to one of America’s greatest disasters--the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake and Fire.

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 whom 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 glimpse into turn-of-the-20th-century California history is free for everyone.
