Shasta Public Library and we are on the secondfloor of the library. Today we are looking at items from our local History Collection which is called the divorce collection. The rock collection is named after mae bacon boggs. She moved as a child out to Shasta County in 1871 and grew up here in old shasta and she had a love for history and particularly transportation and early california history so why she was collecting items and she did collect books and she ended up giving a portion of her collection of the cabinet to the library and that was the start of the boggs collection. Now the boggs collection has grown and weve outgrown the cabinet and we are now in many cabinet.

Weve had some very interesting
