If you were to guess the first food that was canned in Sacramento, California would be salmon? In this video, Shawn discusses the history of the Hume-Hapgood canning company that set up their business along the west bank of the Sacramento River opposite from what is today Old Sacramento. Shawn also discussed our latest exhibit. Our latest exhibit at the Sacramento History Museum, “Sacramento in a Can – Featuring the Campbell’s Sacramento Story,” explores the fascinating history of the canning industry in the Capital City. � Come visit and discover how canning plants pulsed with seasonal activity, employing thousands, especially women and children from immigrant, Indigenous, and working-class communities and the role of rail and river transport that turned our region’s agricultural bounty into goods that could be shipped around the world. • • • #newexhibit #canning #canningandpreserving #SacHistoryMuseum #sacramento #museum #history #oldsacramento #oldsac #sacramentohistory
