Volcano
California State Historic Landmark 29
03/01/96
#029 Volcano
Started 1848 by soldiers of Colonel Stevenson's regiment. Named by miners
because of apparent volcanic appearance. Here the first California rental library, 1850, was
established, and one of the first "little theaters" founded by the "Volcano Thespian
Society", 1854.
Interesting Civil War history.
