Welcome!
Our Next Event…
Speaker Series – September 21
Linda Wheatly
Linda is a genealogist and a Foulks family descendant. She visited the Research Library at the Elk Grove House and Stage Stop Museum a few years back from her home in Vermont to trace her roots using our files. She planned to stay for only four hours but ended up staying two days. She returned home with all her new family history, wrote a fasinating presentation, and returned a year later to present it to us during our General Meetings and Speaker Series. She subsequently decided to trace the Foulks family wagon train route and return to the Elk Grove Historical Society to present:
The Foulks Family – “Tracing the Foulks Family Wagon Train from Missouri to California”
Founders Day
50th Year Celebration of Rhoads School
Volunteering
Do you have a little time on your hands and want to help out at your own pace and when you are available, give us a call. Everybody at the Elk Grove Historical Society volunteers at many levels and we always have a lot of things going on (see below). We appreciate any help and we have a great bunch of people to work with and we have a lot of fun.
Annual Events
The Elk Grove Historical Society hosts, supports and/or partners with SEVEN specific events through the year. See list on Menu under “Annual Events.”
