General announcement
We are working on our 2022–2023 events calendar and much of what we plan to do is based on what events we can safely offer while still adhering to current protocols. We are hoping to bring back some of our beloved in-person events (and a few new ones) when it's safe to do so. We are also exploring more virtual opportunities to engage with our members and the community.

Grab a plate of Christmas cookies and a cup of eggnog or sparkling cider, and sit down at your computer, smart phone, tablet, or smart TV, for our virtual presentation of Christmas with the Bidwells. Enjoy an amusing tale told by John Bidwell and his friend Mr. Swasey, about their first Christmases at Sutter's Fort.
