Donner Park adds 2 historical videos to visitor center

Donner Memorial State Park will explore the history of Donner Summit through two videos being shown at the visitor center.

“Chinese Story, Artifacts from the Camps” focuses on the artifacts uncovered and left behind by the Chinese community during the construction of the transcontinental railroad. The second video – “On the Road with the Green Book Guide, African-American Travel” — highlights the challenges African-Americans faced while traveling on the road.

Both videos are the product of collaboration between California State Parks and Recreation and CSU Sacramento, Creative Services Department. They join the previously released video of the “Washoe Cooking Hearth.”

Donner Memorial State Park is within the town of Truckee.
