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

Winter is here and the Sacramento region has been experiencing some colder weather lately. While snow and ice is rare for this area, that’s not stopping us from making something winter related in the blacksmith shop at Sutter’s Fort State Historic Park. In this video, Mark demonstrates the same blacksmithing methods available in the 1840s at the Fort by making an iron icicle using one inch flat stock. The bellows pumps air into the forge where the iron or steel is softened to a working temperatu

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

On December 5, 1848, in his fourth annual address to Congress, President James Knox Polk confirmed that gold had been found in California earlier that year. Newspapers on the east coast had published of gold on the American River since the summer, but the rumors now had confirmation from the president.
