Elkhorn Station Plaque

Located at the Elkhorn Saloon – 18398 Old River Rd, West Sacramento, CA 95691

ELKHORN  STATION

Near this site in 1887 Swiss born Frank Linggi and family established a dairy and built a large two-story hotel with saloon and residence which served overland and river travelers for the next 20 years.  The building prominently displayed the horns of the fourteen-point elk he had shot as it swam across the nearby river, helping to set the name “Elkhorn” to the family business and area forever.
