Siskiyou County Museum - Life in Yreka, 1951

Our May Siskiyou Stories program about the history of Happy Camp will need to be rescheduled. In its place we will be showing vintage film footage: Life in Yreka, 1951.” Although grainy and a little shaky, this film is a glimpse of Yreka, California and reintroduces viewers to many, many names of the past and visits several locations throughout the city, many of which are now long gone. Narrated in 1980 by Bill Ruddiman and Bill McGinnis, the film is well worth seeing.

About an hour in length, this is the perfect opportunity to step back in time and reminisce with others in the audience about the people and places of yesteryear. There is even a short tour inside of the Siskiyou County Museum just after it opened!

For further details, call the museum at (530) 842-3836.

These events are free and open to the public; however donations to support museum programs such as these are always welcome.

Following the program at 1:15 pm the Friends of the Siskiyou County Museum will hold their General Meeting
