Sacramento City: California's Gold Rush Legacy
Sacramento City comes alive from the perspective of a 1850s personality.
Sacramento City: California's Gold Rush Legacy introduces
visitors, school groups, and interested locals to Sacramento's fascinating
history. A historically attired docent uses the original and reconstructed
gold rush era buildings as the backdrop for the tour and describes
the town as it was in 1850. From miners, to merchants, politicians,
pony express riders, and employees of the transcontinental railroad-
Sacramento City: California's Gold Rush Legacy has it all. |
About Us
The Old Sacramento Living History Program is a volunteer historical
group whose goal is to bring the early days of Sacramento City to
life through historical reenactments, vignettes and strolls on the
streets of Old Sacramento, California.
We present people from Sacramento between 1849 and 1870, from the
Gold Rush to the completion of the Transcontinental Railroad.
Visitors to Old Sacramento are likely to encounter us strolling
the streets of Old Sacramento on weekends and holidays. We provide
tours of the gold-rush city as well as
special events.
Our members have developed expertise in costuming, weaponry, domestic
arts, crafts, literature, politics, and many other aspects of early
Victorian-era life in America.
New members of all ages and ethnic groups are needed.
Gift certificates are available for all historical walking tours
of Old Sacramento. Tours are $7 a person and make a unique gift.
To purchase a walking tour gift certificate, please call 445-3101
