Sutter’s Fort has collected historical material since it was reconstructed in the 1890s. The strength of this collection in the material culture it represents. Furniture, housewares, tools and equipment, portraits, paintings, photographs, diaries, letters, maps, business records, and more – all provide a snapshot of the lives immigrants to California lived in the 19th-century.

Join Friends of Sutter’s Fort for a special members tour of the Sutter’s Fort Collections with Nancy Jenner, Curator of the State Indian Museum and Sutter’s Fort State Historic Park. 

This special walking tour provides a unique behind-the-scenes look at the extensive Sutter’s Fort collections located at the Statewide Museum Collections Center (SMCC), California’s largest collection of artifacts archival documents, and photographs.
