Community Programs

Our Programs

Don’t miss this opportunity to become part of a vibrant community dedicated to the
exploration and celebration of our shared past.

Each of our programs share a unique aspect of regional history, offering a diverse range of topics. Our lecturers are seasoned historians, archeologists, farmers, policy makers, writers, artists, or amateur sleuths with intriguing stories to share. We encourage audience participation. Ask questions, share perspectives, and engage in lively discussions with fellow Delta enthusiasts.

We offer four community program a year -- March, May: September, and
November. And four community resource center days January, April, June, and October, plus in 2026 we’ll participate in many events in partnership with other organizations throughout the region. Check our Schedule of Events for dates and times.

Share Your Stories

Call to make an appointment. Shannon Hartlipp, our new intern will be at the Resource Center on most Saturdays from Mid-March to the end of May and will be available for people to stop by.

Starting Saturday, March 21, from 11 am to 3 pm, and lasting about eight weeks, the
resource center will be open for Delta History Days. We’ll have the coffee pot and conversation going for folks to come by and share a story, peek at our holdings, or talk about ways to engage the community. Have photos to share or other items from the Delta? Bring them, too. We have a new scanner to digitize your images. We’ll provide coffee, tea, and some snacks. If we can recruit some new volunteers, we’ll expand the resource center to at least once a month throughout the year.

Community Engagement

Community engagement is vital because it fosters a sense of connection, shared history, and collective responsibility. By collaborating with organizations like the Courtland Pear Fair, the Annual Archives Crawl, the Sacramento Area History Consortium, the Sacramento History Museum, the Locke Foundation, the Delta Protection Commission, Reveal California, and numerous historical societies and libraries, we expand our programming and create opportunities for meaningful interaction with the public. 

Through these partnerships, we not only preserve and celebrate history but also make it relevant to today’s communities. We are especially committed to engaging students and the next generation, ensuring that historical knowledge and appreciation continue to thrive.

Do you have ideas on how we can enhance our outreach and programming? Join us in
our efforts and be part of shaping the future of history in our region!
