We started a tradition in 2009 of designing Historical Society posters which we will make for sale. The 2009 poster commemorates the Donner Summit Rainbow Bridge built in 1926 (December, 08 newsletter). The 2010 poster commemorates the Central Pacific's Tunnel 6, the longest of the 15 Sierra transcontinental tunnels (a coming newsletter). The 2011 poster commemorates Donner Summit firsts: 1st transcontinental RR, highway, air route; and the first wagon trains to California. It is for sale at the Soda Springs Store - limited availability in 12 X 18 and 24 X 36 inch sizes.
The "Historic Route 40" poster commemorates Old Highway 40 for which we have a brochure enabling you to travel from Rocklin to Truckee via Old 40 rather than using I-80.
Below left is the commemorative poster for Sugar Bowl's 70th anniversary. This goes with our October/November/December '09 newsletters.
Then we also have some of our displays made up into 24 X 36 inch posters shown below from left to right: Donner Summit Unique (the firsts of Donner Summit); Donner Summit Matchbooks, Transcontinental Highway across Donner Summit (first transcontinental highway), Hotels and Inns of Donner Summit, Donner Summit snowsheds - of the first transcontinental RR; andThe Transcontinental RR across Donner Summit (the first transcontinental RR). All are available at the Soda Springs Store.
