Howard wants you to know that you can give now and on May 7th. All donations go to support our educational school programs and our ongoing efforts to share history with our community!

Howard has been a volunteer docent at our museum for over 26 years and he loves teaching the younger generation all about the workings of our antique printing presses. Howard has continued to gain international recognition through the Sacramento History Museum's social media platforms with his stories from our Print Shop exhibit.

He enjoys giving back to the Museum and hopes you can support our museum and even his campaign directly by donating today at:
