## Caption

Old Sacramento is home to the Eagle Theatre, a reconstruction of the first building constructed in California for the purpose of a theater. The building resides today on Front Street between I and J Streets just down the block from the Sacramento History Museum. The theater originally opened on October 18, 1849. It cost $30,000 for the construction of the theater that was just 30 by 65 feet in size with a sheet iron or tin roof, lumber salvaged from abandoned ships for the structure, and canvas for the walls. Sacramento’s first major flood in early January 1850 heavily damaged the theater and other buildings in the area. The theater lasted less than three months. In this video, Jared discussed the history of the Eagle Theatre which is today part of Old Sacramento State Historic Park.
