The Sacramento Room is our local treasure and Amanda DeWilde is a rockstar among archivists. She helpfully accepted our donation of historical materials from Boy Scout Troop One (founded in 1916). We know that a century of records and artifacts from our history are now in good hands. Thank you Amanda and thank you Sacramento Room!
Thanks
Stunning film!! Wonderful job!!
