About 85 people gathered at an outdoor ceremony on Dec. 5 to celebrate the dedication and opening of the 1853 Foulks House as a museum that honors one of Elk Groveâs earliest families.
This small, two-story structure, which formerly stood on Elk Grove Boulevard near Bruceville Road, was home to six generations of Foulks family members.
Moved to the Elk Grove Historical Societyâs Heritage Park in Elk Grove Regional Park in 2005, the building underwent a more than $100,000 restoration, which was completed this year.
Built like a barn with no studs or sheer walls to keep it square, this historic house is one of the last remaining early California, single-frame homes.
