Fun Facts

Old Sacramento State Historic Park preserves the original commercial district of Sacramento, which flourished during the California Gold Rush in the mid-1800s.

The city raised its streets in the 1860s to prevent flooding, creating an underground network of sidewalks and storefronts that can still be explored today.

This museum is one of the largest of its kind in North America, showcasing the history of the railroad and its impact on California's development.

The area features a mix of Gold Rush-era buildings and 19th-century architecture, reflecting its historical significance and preservation efforts.

This event transforms the area into a scene from the 1850s, complete with period costumes, reenactments, and traditional activities.

The Eagle Theatre, originally built in 1849, was the first permanent theater in California and has been reconstructed to reflect its historical roots.

Designated in 1965, the area is recognized for its significant role in the history of the American West and the Gold Rush era.
