Sutter’s Fort was the destination trail-weary covered wagons aimed for in the 1840s … but this restored former frontier trading post/relief station has its own story to tell throughout its decades of existence. Paperback & Kindle, https://t.co/0aiWT9A2GS #BooksWorthReading

Sutter’s Fort was 40 miles s/w of Coloma, where gold was discovered in January 1848. Treasure hunters gathered at the fort to drink, gamble…and callously destroy it. Restored in the 1890s, it has its own amazing story. https://t.co/0aiWT9A2GS #HistoryNerd #BooksWorthReading

We know it may be tempting to feed the squirrels, ducks, or turtles when you visit Sutter's Fort, but please don't! Human food is not good for them. Our partners at @CAStateParks have these tips to help keep wildlife wild.

As people continued to migrate west after the Civil War, Buffalo Soldiers protected parklands and built infrastructure. It is important to remember the legacy of Buffalo Soldiers and their impact on California's #publiclands. #castateparks

Some of the first park rangers in America weren’t rangers at all. They were Buffalo Soldiers - Black Americans who served in the U.S. Army after the Civil War. On Buffalo Soldiers Day, we celebrate the legacy of these first-of-a-kind, trailblazing rangers.
