California State Capitol Museum

Operating continuously since the day the doors opened in 1869, the California State Capitol is where the State of California's legislature met. By the late 1970s, the building was declared seismically unsafe and had become an eyesore. The Legislature decided to stay in its traditional home and authorized a massive restoration. Today, from the intricate tile work on the front lobby floor to the lovingly etched filigreed detail in alcoves under the rotunda, the craftsmanship of a bygone era is evident. A host of exhibitions unravel various aspects of the Capitol, from its history and architecture to its storied office holders. The expansive gardens around the building are beautifully landscaped with diverse types of trees and are perfect for a stroll after the history lesson. A host of memorials dot the park's picturesque landscape.

Capitol Park

Surrounding the California State Capitol Museum, Capitol Park is a quiet retreat away from the city. Featuring lush landscaping, trees from around the world, and various memorials, this park is great for an afternoon of history lessons or moments of solitude and sunshine. The Civil War Memorial Grove was planted in 1897 with saplings from famous battlegrounds and honors those who served. Also located within the park is the life size statue of Father Junipero Serra and the California Vietnam Veterans Memorial.

Leland Stanford Mansion State Historic Park

This stunning Victorian mansion was originally built in 1856. This architecturally stunning home was the residence of California Governor, Leland Stanford. Featuring 17-foot tall ceilings, light fixtures dating from the 19th Century, artistic relics, paintings, gilded mirrors and original furniture which was the property of the Stanford family, this mansion is a true gem to behold. After a renovation that took 14 years, this former governors residence now serves as a museum and visitor center. Tours are offered throughout the week.

The California Museum

The California Museum offers the history of the state in a dazzling array of high-tech, multimedia displays and exhibits. The museum makes the subject of history an entertaining treat for the entire family. It uses interactive displays (including holograms) to depict the "People, Place, Politics, and Promise of California" in its four main galleries. A highlight of the museum is the display of the original California Constitution.

Sutter Health Park

The seats in Raley Field offer a nice view of the Sacramento skyline. The park has more than 11,000 seats and is a popular venue for concerts, festivals and other events. It is also home to the Sacramento River Cats, a baseball team who holds the 2007 Pacific League Champions title. There are concession stands offering the usual ballpark fare, as well as Mexican cuisine, pizza, barbecue and grilled veggie sandwiches. Beverages include soft drinks and a variety of micro brews on tap.

Sutter's Fort State Historic Park

A popular attraction in Sacramento, Sutter's Fort State Historic Park is a must-visit while in the city. A self-guided tour of the beautiful park and the historic Sutter Fort will offer you an insight on the history of the city. Originally built in 1839, Sutter's Fort is symbolic of the Gold Rush era in California. Costumed docents re-enact living history as mountain men, traders, trappers and blacksmiths. View replicas of covered wagons or watch while docents make handicrafts. You can also visit the museum store located within the premises.
