The Burnett Awards October 10, 2019 at the 24th Street Theatre

2019 Burnett Awards

Hosted by the Sacramento History Alliance

The Burnett Awards is a benefit for two of Sacramento’s Historic Treasures – The Sacramento History Museum and the Center for Sacramento History. Each year, the Sacramento History Alliance honors area businesses that have met the test of time. They may not always be the oldest, but they are old enough – we call them “Venerable”.

The Burnett Awards is named in honor of Burnett Miller – native Sacramentan, politician, philanthropist, business leader and the City’s “Number 1” history buff.

Last year’s awardees were: Beer’s Books; Biba Ristorante Italiano; Blue Diamond Growers; Burnett & Sons Planing Mill & Lumber Company; Corti Brothers; Espanol Italian Restaurant; Frank Fat’s; The Trap.

The 2019 Burnett Awardees are:
