| Landmark #34 | Amador County | Visited: May 8, 2015 | Plaque? YES! 🙂 |
| What is it? | A plaque on the wall adjacent to the Amador County Chamber of Commerce! |
| What makes it historical? | THE GUIDE SAYS: The Order of Native Daughters of the Golden West was organized on these premises, the site of the Pioneer Hall, on September 11, 1886.
OTHER TIDBITS: The Native Daughters are a super important Order when it comes to historical preservation! A ton of historical landmark plaques were installed by these fine women! Ms. Lilly O. Reichling called together the first parlor here at Pioneer Hall and named it the Ursula Parlor, since “Ursula” comes from the Latin for “bear.” They were to be a strong order of California-born women, coming together on principles of faith, patriotism, and family! The Ursula parlor was the mama bear of all other parlors until July 1887, when the Grand Parlor opened up in San Francisco in a building designed by Julia Morgan. The Grand Parlor has met in a different part of California every June since 1887! There are about 95 parlors in 67 cities across California, so you just might be neighbors with one of these fine historians! |
