On our way to camping, we passed the Mt. Shasta Sisson Museum and saw a sign for their annual History Night fundraiser. I was intrigued and we popped in for the last two tickets available. We were so lucky to attend this sold out event.
Our tickets included an early admission so we took the opportunity to fully explore this extremely comprehensive museum.
The newest exhibit was entitled 'Round the Mountain' and presented the enthralling history of the railroad in these parts. Wow.
How perfect that the speaker was well-known railroad author/historican and former SP trainman, John Signor. John's engrossing talk was on the history of the Shasta Division and the evolution of rail in this part of the world. It was incredible, worthwhile and entertaining- an evening to support the local museum! Extensive appetizers, a no-host beverage bar, raffles, silent auction, and live auction were the components of a truly unforgettable night.
We loved this opportunity to be a part of local history.
Seize every opportunity along the way,
for how sad it would be if the road you chose
became the road not taken.
