Bald Eagle lands next to the American flag

June 20th is National American Eagle Day! This day commemorates the anniversary of choosing the bald eagle as the American national symbol in 1782. For today, Howard letterpress printed an image from a very patriotic photo engraving. #AmericanEagleDay #baldeagle #americaneagle #SacHistoryMuseum #sacramento #museum #printing | Sacramento History Museum

On July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong became the first human to walk on the moon, a monumental accomplishment achieved by the efforts of over 400,000 people. Shortly after, Buzz Aldrin joined him as the second person to step onto the lunar surface. In a 1970 BBC interview, Armstrong shared his observations of what he saw from the moon. | History In Pictures
