Once again it’s time for our annual appeal for support to the museum.

Over the past year we have accomplished a great deal.  We have increased visitation, improved our reputation, participated in major historical commemorations and have started down the road to becoming a world class museum that the people of California and the members of the California National Guard and State Military Reserve can be proud of.  This includes:

·         Implementation of the PastPerfect museum management software that includes automated artifact management

·         Completion of the Sgt. Maj. Doris Drennan Multi-Purpose room

·         The addition of four employees funded by the American Association of Retired Persons

·         Hosting of the annual State Military Museum conference and training session.

·         Management of the military living history portion of Sacramento Gold Rush.

This coming year we want to build on our success and accomplish the following:

·         Establishment of an image library for the collection, preservation and digitization of photographs.  The museum has thousands of photographs

·         A new California in the Middle East and Afghanistan exhibit.

·         A major exhibit on California in the Civil War in cooperation with California State Parks to be placed in the State Capital.

·         Upgrading of current exhibits, to include new signage.

·         Replacement of library shelving and display cases in order to meet safety, security, and Americans with Disabilities Act requirements.

 With the current state budget situation, we will be forced to depend on your support to keep our doors open.  This is not limited to monetary support, but also you time and talents.  Please contact us at (916) 442-2883
