Heritage Trail History & Self-Guided Tour
By The Orland Historical & Cultural Society with Dr. Gene Russell and Heritage Trail Docents
Heritage Trail, the Gem of Glenn, was created by a joint effort of several generations of Glenn County citizens.
In 1980 Nelda Sweet organized the ‘Save Our Depot’ campaign which began the Heritage Trail with the placement of the Southern Pacific Depot, built in the early 1880’s. The name was coined by Ray Lyon. Buildings of historical significance have been added and maintained through the years.
More exhibits are included on the Heritage Trail that also have historical significant to the local communities, their growth, and agriculture.
We hope to help you step into the past!
There will be a picnic lunch under the trees in front of the Chrome School.
Your picnic lunch will be a choice of turkey, ham, or roast beef sandwich, chips, cookies and a water.
After the picnic and historical presentation, you will be able to take a self-guided, walking tour of the Heritage Trail.
A Director’s meeting will be held at 10:00 am in the Depot’s Waiting Room
The most recent issue of Wagon Wheels will be on sale before and after the luncheon.
You can order back issues at www.colusi.com
