At Friends of Sutter’s Fort, we believe that history comes alive when students can engage with it in meaningful, hands-on ways. That’s why we fundraise to provide essential supplies for the educational programs at Sutter’s Fort SHP. From leather rounds for crafting personalized cattle brands, to twine for rope making, to firewood for cooking and baking activities, these materials help immerse students in the daily life and skills of early California. These experiences not only deepen students’ understanding of history but also create lasting memories and connections to the past.
Thanks to your generosity, we’ve been able to ease the financial and logistical burden on teachers by donating many of these supplies, making programs more accessible for classrooms. However, we’re still short of our fundraising goal and need your help to fully fund these critical supplies. If you’re able to make a contribution before the end of the year, your gift will directly support classrooms and students, ensuring more students can experience these immersive programs. Together, we’re helping students learn through discovery, connection, and creativity, and we couldn’t do it without you. Thank you for making an impact!
