As a community, Sacramento has changed greatly over the city's relatively young history and the Community Gallery richly details its growth in chronological order. Visitors learn about the first people, the Nisenan & Maidu Indian Nations, through a collection of baskets, jewelry, and weapons.

As you leave the Native American exhibit, you say goodbye to that way of life. In 1826, tempted by the abundance of fur-bearing animals, trapper Jedehiah Smith, among hundreds of men and fur companies settled this land. Of course, this huge migration had a disastrous effect on the land and native people. Animals were massacred and the Indians became infected with malaria and small pox. Thousands died.

Through carefully preserved correspondence, photographs, historic fashions, and heirlooms, guests wind through the exhibit and see a city grow from a dusty miner town of the 1850s to an early 20th century where new forms of transportation and communication were introduced. The exhibits then tell the stories of Sacramento and America in a World War, Japanese-Americans being interned, and how the famous Dunlap family turned their home into a successful neighborhood restaurant.
