VOLUNTEER APPLICATION

Please read through the following information before applying

Old Sacramento Living History (OSLH) Program is an educational group associated with the

Sacramento History Museum.

Living History re-enactors depict Sacramento and Gold Rush history from 1850 to 1880. It is primarily a weekend activity, and includes many events throughout the year such as a Victorian Tea, an Easter Ball and Promenade, a Victorian 4th of July celebration, Ghost Tours, and our large annual event, Gold Rush Days celebration over the Labor Day weekend. We also participate in local parades in the Sacramento area.

If you are uncomfortable being a re-enactor, the organization has a need for people behind the scenes as well i.e. sewing, help setting up/cleaning up events, research, etc.

OSLH meets on the second Saturday of each month at 10am in the Sacramento Living History Center located off of Firehouse Alley between I Street and J Street in Old Sacramento.
