The most common item baked at Sutter’s Fort in the 1840s was hardtack.

One of the unique aspects of Sutter’s Fort State Historic Park is that many of the rooms, like the blacksmith shop, are areas where we can demonstrate historical skills and also their impacts on 1840s California history. The blacksmith was one of the first jobs at Sutter's Fort and the blacksmith shop was operating through the early days of the Gold Rush. Iron stock was pretty hard to come by in early California so blacksmiths often repurposed iron goods or broken tools. Marco, one of our blacks

Commission votes to change Sutter’s Fort general plan to focus on Native American experience

What better way to build a fort here near the confluence of the Sacramento and American Rivers in the 1840s than to just buy another fort that already existed in California? Well that’s what John Sutter did. In December 1841, John Sutter purchased Fort Ross, a Russian fur trapping and agricultural outpost operated by the Russian American Company. The fort was located along the California coast just north of Bodega Bay on the unceded ancestral homeland of the Kashaya Pomo Native people. Ever sinc

In honor of Halloween, we thought we’d make something in the blacksmith shop at Sutter’s Fort that fits the occasion. In this video, Mark demonstrates the same blacksmithing methods available in the 1840s at the Fort by making a steel skull from a section of flat stock. The bellows pumps air into the forge where the iron or steel is softened to a working temperature to be shaped with a hammer on the anvil. This type of blacksmithing work is a great example of the use of chisels and punches to ma

Sutter's Fort SHP on Instagram: "On January 28, 1848, John Sutter wrote in the daily logbook at Sutter’s Fort, “Mr Marshall arrived from the Mountains on very important business.” Nothing further is said about that subject in the logbook, because Sutter possibly did not want others to read the reasoning behind James Marshall’s late arrival on a very stormy evening. In Sutter’s office in the Central Building of the Fort, Marshall and Sutter met. Marshall even slammed the door on someone who tried
