Eagle Theatre!

Eagle Theatre
Landmark #595 Sacramento County Visited: March 22, 2015 Plaque?  NO. 🙁
What is it? The reconstructed Eagle Theatre!
What makes it historical? THE GUIDE SAYS: This is the site of the first building in California constructed as a theater in 1849. The theater was reconstructed in 1974.

OTHER TIDBITS: This poor theatre only operated for three months before it was destroyed by a flood on January 4, 1850! Today, it is an information house for docents of the California Railroad Museum!
How can I Help the Helpers? HERE’S HOW:

  • Volunteer with the Sacramento History Museum!
  • Donate to the California State Railroad Museum!
  • Be a responsible visitor! Please respect the signs and pathways, and treat all structures and artifacts with respect. They’ve endured a lot to survive into the present. They’ll need our help to make it into the future!
