Take a visual tour of early Fresno and learn about the city’s beginnings through the people who came here - what they did and what they built. Starting in 1872, we will follow the evolution of the town over the next 45 years, highlighting the activities of its early founders. Learn where to find remnants of those early beginnings still visible in Fresno today but sometimes hiding in plain sight!
