About Sacramento
Sacramento is California's capital, a river city where the Sacramento and American Rivers meet, with Gold Rush history and a farm-fresh food scene.
Sacramento grew up during the California Gold Rush, at the meeting of the Sacramento and American Rivers. Old Sacramento keeps wooden boardwalks and brick buildings of the 1850s beside the river, and the California State Railroad Museum shows steam locomotives. The domed State Capitol stands in a park of trees from around the world, and Sutter's Fort, an adobe fort of the 1840s, recalls the settlement that preceded the Gold Rush.
