Sacramento, California: Old-West Style and Rich Gold-Rush History

Sacramento—the present-day capital of California—made a name for itself in the mid-1800s when the first traces of the state’s rich gold deposits were discovered in nearby Coloma. Remnants of the iconic gold-rush era can still be found in Old Sacramento, a National Historic Landmark that spans eight blocks. Here, 19th-century buildings and wooden boardwalks line cobblestone streets punctuated by old-fashioned hitching posts. River City Saloon pours pints of sarsaparilla beer, and Munchies Salt Water Taffy doles candy out from wooden barrels.

At the north end of Old Sacramento is the California State Railroad Museum. Among the museum’s holdings are 19 restored locomotives, some of which date back to the Civil War. Nearby, the Crocker Art Museum—founded in 1885 by the widow of a railroad magnate—is one of the oldest continuously operating art museums in the western United States. Permanent exhibits range from an extensive collection of California art to international ceramics and classical European paintings.
