About Wheatland......147 years ago
Help Us Find Lost Local Treasure! The monument inside the Camp Far West cemetery walls (picture at left) was constructed by the Native Sons and Daughters of the Golden West in 1911 in honor of those who served our country at the Nation’s "Furthest West" army outpost. It originally housed four brass or bronze plaques inscribed with names and dates. In the 1950's, it is believed that someone in our community removed them to prevent further damage to them by vandalism. They were safely tucked away.....And now we don't know who had them, or where they put them. Can you help us find these historically significant relics?
This photo is from our "What is it?" column of the January 2021 Wheatland Historical Society member newsletter. Do you know what these items are? (FYI - Sorry, the museum is still closed.)
The Forlorn Hope Expedition is an attempt to trace the route of those who walked across the Sierra Nevada mountains seeking help for the stranded Donner Party in the winter of 1846. Follow the trek 100 miles from Donner Lake to Johnson’s Ranch across the winter wilderness of the Sierra. Visit the website to track the expedition LIVE starting Dec 16th.: https://www.forlornhope.org/
We remember our Veterans today and especially our member, Sam. May you rest in peace. Thank you for your service.
