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”.

2018: 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.
2019: General Produce; The Sacramento Bee; Goodwin-Cole Company; Teichert Construction; Vic’s and Gunther’s Ice Cream.
