Well nuts! Yes walnuts. This elephant was made of walnuts and was on display during the 1894 Midwinter Fair.

The elephant was a gift from Los Angeles and the message was that California could produce many nuts, fruits etc. The saddle cloth was made of citrus fruits, peanuts and corn.

The Midwinter Fair took place in Golden Gate Park.

Mayor Latham casting his vote back in the day. He proposed to “junk the cable car” for modernization of mass transit with busses. He was also up for re election. Mayor Latham both lost his re election and continuing on as Mayor of San Francisco. Freidel Klussman was a SF socialite that was pro cable car and saved our iconic cable cars that symbolizes our city. She campaigned heavily to save our cable cars. Freidel also held ritzy rummage sales and cable car carnival (ball) at the Fairmont to help raise funds over the years to support the cable cars. The Fisherman’s Wharf cable car turnaround is named after Freidel Klussman, known as the Cable Car Lady.

Special thanks to SF Public Library for allowing us to repost their photo.

Ina Coolbrith ) was an American poet and a prominent figure in the early San Francisco literary scene. In 1915, she was named California’s first poet laureate. She associated with the likes of Bret Harte, Mark Twain, John Muir and Joaquin Miller and was a mentor to Jack London and Isadora Duncan.

Born Josephine Donna Smith, a niece of Mormon founder Joseph Smith, she came west with her family during California’s Gold Rush. Coolbrith was fifteen and living in Los Angeles when her poetry was first published. After she divorced her husband at age twenty-one, she changed her name to Ina Donna Coolbrith, concealed her Mormon ancestry, and moved to San Francisco, where her celebrity as a poet grew.

An excerpt from her poem San Francisco: April 18, 1906:

I saw thy barren hills against the skies,
I saw them topped with minaret and spire;
Wall upon wall thy myriad mansions rise,
Fair City of my love and desire.

There is a park named after Ina Coolbrith on Russian Hill. This park is a hidden gem with spectacular views. The Russian Hill Stairways Walking Tours takes walkers to Ina Coolbrith Park. Click here to RSVP your spot on this tour:

It’s been 120 years since San Francisco rose from the ashes, and next week is your chance to stand where it all began.

At 5:12am on April 18, 1906, disaster struck. For approximately 60 seconds, a 7.9 magnitude earthquake rattled San Francisco, unleashing destruction on a scale never before seen in the United States. The violent shaking leveled buildings, ruptured gas and water mains, and set the stage for an even greater catastrophe: three days of uncontrollable fires that destroyed 80% of the city.

To help us share the story of the morning that changed San Francisco forever, we joined Marc Igler from. As a lead for their 1906 Earthquake & Fire Tour, Marc walks attendees through ground zero where the ruins met the recovery.

Amidst the rubble on Market Street stood Lotta’s Fountain. Located at the intersection of Market, Geary, and Kearny Streets, Lotta’s Fountain is one of San Francisco’s most enduring landmarks and a living memorial. Originally built in 1875, the fountain became the “city’s bulletin board”, serving as a vital sanctuary where survivors gathered to leave notes for loved ones and search for the missing.

To this day, Lotta’s Fountain continues to bring our community together.

2026 marks the 120th Anniversary of the 1906 Earthquake and Fire. Falling on Saturday, April 18th, the free, pre-dawn Commemoration Ceremony invites residents, families, and history buffs to gather at Lotta’s Fountain to honor our city’s resilience and soul.

Nestled in the heart of downtown San Francisco is a historic alleyway where the 1850s waterfront once stood as the primary gateway for dreamers and fortune-seekers. Today, this space holds a new name that tells the story of a ship captain and merchant whose legacy helped shape the West:.

This Black History Month, we’re joining Eric Friedman from to honor Captain William Alexander Leidesdorff, America’s first Black diplomat and millionaire.

A shared vision between the Downtown SF Partnership and, Landing at Leidesdorff, located at the intersection of Commercial and Leidesdorff St in the Financial District, brings history to the surface. From the 150-foot “Beyond the Sea” mural to the waterfront ground graphics and city map with an overlay of the original Long Wharf, every detail tells the story of Leidesdorff’s remarkable impact.

In the 1840s, Leidesdorff helped shepherd SF into existence, establishing its first public school, hotel, and commercial warehouse. His untimely death in 1848 meant he never saw his new home grow into the great metropolis we know today.

Step back in time and discover his indelible mark on one of FREE upcoming tours:
