Sacramento offers a journey through Californian history, from the 1849 Gold Rush to today. The Old Sacramento district retains its 1850 brick buildings and Victorian facades, while the California State Capitol overlooks the city with its 16-hectare gardens. The California State Railroad Museum features more than 20 restored locomotives, witnesses to the railway development in the American West. The Crocker Art Museum, founded in 1885, houses 15,000 artworks in a building that combines heritage and modernity. The city also reveals its industrial and pioneering past. Fort Sutter, reconstructed to exact detail, recalls the founding settlement of John Sutter. The Tower Bridge of 1935 spans the Sacramento River with its golden bascule structure. Thematic museums like the California Automobile Museum with 150 historic vehicles complete this exploration. The American River and its riverside trails provide natural spaces alongside urban sightseeing.
