William Burg
reading & signing his new book
Midtown Sacramento: Creative Soul of the City
Thursday, August 28th, at 7:00pm
Though once scheduled for demolition, Midtown Sacramento battled back to
become the city’s geographic and cultural center--a beacon for offbeat
artists, progressive thinkers and independent spirits. This eclectic
neighborhood made history through social progress and artistic
innovation. Through the hippie counterculture of the 1960s, the
irreverent power of punk rock in the 1970s and ’80s and the social and
political consciousness of Generation X in the 1990s and beyond, Midtown
always led the way. Now Sacramento historian and Midtown resident
William Burg tells the story of the diverse generations of Sacramentans
who shaped this trailblazing neighborhood.
William Burg is the author of several books on
Sacramento history, including
Sacramento's Southside Park,
Sacramento's K Street and
Sacramento Renaissance. He has served as President of the Sacramento County
Historical Society and the Sacramento Old City Association. He received
an MA in Public History from California State University, Sacramento, and works as a
historian for the State of California.
This event is FREE & all are welcome.

What a fine tribute to Sacramento William Burg has become! Many can wax nostalgically and be confident with Burg's wide variety & finely chosen vibrant documentation. Burg is a brilliant Archivist of all that is valuable to California's epic history and beyond.
Thanks for recapping an era of time that is ever-so-special to my 1980's life-style-in-time-line love of a Sacramento that once was.
