Now, on our nation's 250th birthday, we'll discover the messages and memories left behind for future generations. A special thanks to our Code Enforcement, Parks Department, and Street Department with their combined efforts to extract the time Capsule.

ALL ABOARD AMERICA - The Story of the Original American Freedom Train
American Steam Railroad
American Steam Railroad
Premiered 5 hours ago
On this day 250 years ago, the United States of America declared itself a free nation, dedicated to the ideals of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
50 years ago, the American Freedom Train took the celebration of those ideals directly to the people. It was a red, white and blue steam-powered spectacle that assembled over 500 genuine American treasures and toured them through the entire continental United States, a journey of nearly 26,000 miles. Over 7 million Americans stepped aboard the Freedom Train, and countless more simply stood trackside to watch.
Now, thanks to the generosity of former AFT crew member Harold Weisinger, American Steam Railroad is proud to present “ALL ABOARD AMERICA”, a vintage documentary that follows the making of the Freedom Train — how the idea started, how the artifacts were assembled, how the display cars were built, how the steam locomotives were restored, and who was behind it all.

Governor Newsom Celebrates 250 Years of American Independence
California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) delivered remarks commemorating America's 250th birthday. He argued that the Founding Fathers' ideas are under threat from President Trump. "What separates a democracy from a monarchy, from a dictatorship is the fundamental right to vote," said Gov. Newsom as he called for a "Declaration of Election Independence." He continued to criticize the Trump administration and the Supreme Court. "Let's keep our democracy. Let's prove one more time that this is a government of the people. Happy Independence Day. Now let's go defend it," said Gov. Newsom.
