Previous city historian Marcia Eymann retired in April 2025.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>Years ago as a student at Cuesta College near San Luis Obispo, Ty Smith helped his school host the California Indian Conference in 1999.<\/p>\n<p><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe were sort of younger and maybe naive and we volunteered Cuesta to host it kind of without the knowledge of our professors,\u201d he said. \u201cIt was audacious because we were the first community college to host the California Indian Conference.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>Now Sacramento could be in position to benefit from Smith\u2019s audacity. Known in part for his success at the railroad museum, Smith might prove instrumental in a long-term project to combine the Center for Sacramento History and the Sacramento History Museum.<\/p>\n<p><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<h2>Ty Smith\u2019s background<\/h2>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>Dennis Judd remembered the night he met Ty Smith.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>Judd is a retired Cuesta College professor and taught Smith in an introductory U.S. history course about 30 years ago  in Smith\u2019s native Paso Robles. \u201cHe kind of gave me a hard time as we walked out that evening in saying that I was not dealing with Native America to the degree he had hoped,\u201d Judd said.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>For Smith, the issue is personal. He is an enrolled member of the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma, with his father\u2019s parents coming from Caddo, a small town in that state. \u201cI learned history first sitting at the foot of my grandmother, who wasn\u2019t a historian but exuded it through her lived experience,\u201d Smith said.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>Judd and another now-retired Cuesta professor, William Fairbanks, invited Smith to attend a California Indian Conference. This inspired Smith and other students to lobby to bring the conference to Cuesta.<\/p>\n<p><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI would say to Ty, \u2018You got me into a lot of trouble,\u2019\u201d said Fairbanks, who is now 89. \u201cAnd then he would respond, \u2018Yeah, but I got you out of it, too.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>After Cuesta, Smith went to Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo for a bachelor\u2019s degree in history, Sacramento State for a master\u2019s degree in public history and UC Santa Barbara where he earned a doctorate in public history.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>\u201cTy brought a sense of maturity,\u201d said Dan Krieger, one of his professors at Cal Poly. \u201cI think he was working almost full-time at the time he was my student and I knew it was a struggle for him. But he was doing the best he could. And in conversations with him, I could tell a love of history that you don\u2019t always see in students.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>At Sacramento State, Smith overlapped with John Fraser, who would later supervise Smith\u2019s direction of the railroad museum. The museum is part of the Old Sacramento State Historic Park. Fraser serves as superintendent for the Capital District of California State Parks, with district offices located near the museum.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>\u201cLargely the museum before Ty was there emphasized very heavily the technology, the machinery and the equipment of the railroad,\u201d Fraser said. \u201cTy really transformed it into a place that focused on the people behind the railroad.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>The museum had 217,771 visitors last year. Its attendance peaked in 2019 at nearly 250,000 visitors, a figure it hasn\u2019t been able to match since the COVID-19 pandemic. This isn\u2019t unique to Sacramento, with Smith noting that an American Alliance of Museums survey found that 55% of museums report decreased traffic.<\/p>\n<p><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>But the number of annual school visitors to the railroad museum is now more than 50% higher than it was pre-pandemic. Smith said this was the result of deliberate strategy by the museum. He also said there were other ways people were engaging with the railroad museum\u2019s programming.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/sandiegorelocationnews.com\/index.php\/2026\/05\/31\/the-sacramento-bee-backs-flojaune-cofer-for-sacramento-county-supervisor-heres-what-to-know\/\">The Sacramento Bee backs Flojaune Cofer for Sacramento County Supervisor.

But its physical space, just down the street from the railroad museum, is small. The Sacramento History Alliance operates the museum for the city.<\/p>\n<p><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think what we both recognize is that we really need a larger platform than what we have at the current site,\u201d Van Voorhis said.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>In the River District, the Center for Sacramento History offers a fascinating array of historic papers, such as the collection of civil rights attorney Nathaniel Colley. There are artifacts that include the shovel of landlady Dorothea Puente, infamous for poisoning tenants of her boarding house and having them buried in her yard on F Street.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>But the center, as currently designed, is a research and preservation facility. It sits in nondescript office space near Richards Boulevard, is open by appointment and has capacity to accommodate only a small amount of visitors at a time. \u201cThe Center for Sacramento History definitely has significant challenges that we\u2019re aware of,\u201d Van Voorhis said.<\/p>\n<p><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>There is the possibility of the Center for Sacramento History and the Sacramento History Museum joining forces. Van Voorhis said that when the city renewed its agreement with the Sacramento History Alliance in October, it discussed the possibility of putting the center and the museum in the same space.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think we\u2019re excited about figuring out what that partnership could really yield in the future by way of a potential new building and a new site for co-location,\u201d Van Voorhis said.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>Van Voorhis said the project was still in its early stages and that it might take a decade to be completed. She said Smith could play a key role in the effort.<\/p>\n<p><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think his background uniquely suits him,\u201d Van Voorhis said. \u201cHe\u2019s been an educator. He\u2019s been a museum director. He\u2019s lived on a lot of different sides of this. And all of those things are really important as we try to gain momentum to see if we can get something done.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>People who knew Smith early on, like his Cal Poly professor Dan Krieger, are optimistic for him as he settles into his new role as Sacramento city historian.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know it\u2019s a difficult role, but Ty knows how to facilitate things,\u201d Krieger said. \u201cSo he\u2019ll be a great builder.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/sandiegorelocationnews.com\/index.php\/2026\/05\/31\/atmosphere-for-as-yankees-shows-whats-at-stake-for-sacramentos-mlb-bid-2\/\">Atmosphere for A\u2019s-Yankees shows what\u2019s at stake for Sacramento\u2019s MLB bid<\/a><\/p>\n<p><!--]--><!--]--><!-- --><!-- --><!-- --><!-- --><\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ty Smith is becoming Sacramento city historian after a nine-year run as head of the California State Railroad Museum.
