Welcome to a new episode of the American Attic! Presented by the Sacramento Historical Society and hosted by Eric Sweigert, join us as we explore history and those that work tirelessly to preserve and promote it. In today’s episode, we sat down with local historian, author and speaker, Christina Richter, who’s second book Placer County Past & Present is currently available. If history was a song, local historians provide the melody, and Christina Richter is certainly carrying the tune of Placer County history to all who will listen. She shares about how she arrived at her appreciation of the past, her current public pursuits in promoting local history and what gems await visitors to Placer County. Folks hoping to learn more about her work can visit her Our Spirit of History website as well. With historian Christina Richter leading the way, join us won’t you?
