About the Event
Join historian and Sacramento Public Library archivist James Scott for a deep dive into the Capital City's Depression Era Hoovervilles. From Gardenland to Rotten Egg, we'll explore the makeshift existence of the hundreds of souls who, escaping the throes of the Great Depression or the scourge of the Dust Bowl, decided to make a stand in Sacramento. Rare photographs, archival content, and handouts will accent this presentation.
