Ep. 14: Tales from the Archives with City Historian Marcia Eymann
Welcome to a new episode of the American Attic, presented by the Sacramento Historical Society, where we explore California's hidden history and those that preserve and promote it.
In this episode, we are joined by Sacramento's official City Historian, Marcia Eymann. From the corridors of the Center of Sacramento History to colonial Williamsburg and back again, Eymann guides us through a career dedicated to bringing the past to life, for future generations, and leading local archival and preservation efforts. Turns out...there's a lot that goes in to those museum exhibits you see.
Specifically, we discuss her journey into history and how she came to lead Sacramento's preservation and archival efforts. We explore current efforts and initaitves at the Center for Sacramento History as well as ways for you to get involved. With virutal and in-person exhibits, archive crawls/tours and speaker series, there's always something going on with this group of intrepid historians. Join them for an evening with journalist and scholar Evelyn McDonnell as she discusses her new biography on Sacramento's own Joan Didion on October 19.
Whether you are a seasoned historian, a budding enthusiast, or simply curious about the tales that our city holds, join us for one more trip up to the attic of Sacramento's past.
