Acton

1949 Vincent Depot

Before Vasquez HighSchool had a temporary campus, the 9th grade class of 1994 assembled at High Dessert School. This is the first class of VHS.

Undated photo maybe 25 years old & today looking west towards McDonald's. 30 years ago we had Jessie and Amy's "Acton Hardware" in quonset huts and a trailer.

The original 49'er, 1887 and as it looks today. The 49'er bar and restuarant in the backround was built in the late 50's and the dining room added to to bar around 1978 . (I'm going by memory so that open for correction)

For reasons unknown I've not been able to get into my own page. Think it's fixed so i can now start adding my random photos.

On this date, October 19, in 1945.Across the street fron todays 49er Resturant, the Acton Hotel burned to the ground. The person accused of arson and theft of property , fled the country during the trial.

This Sunday......
