Part of our mission is to spread the historical fun of Donner Summit history of which there is a lot.. So we have developed a number of brochures which tell the stories of Donner Summit history. They are listed below and all are PDF's. Most are four panel 8.5 X 14 brochures but your software should allow you to print to fit if your printer has only 8.5 X 11 paper. They will just be smaller than optimal. We've added PDF versions that will scroll on smart phones as well.
