Old Sacramento Historic District, historic district in Sacramento, California, United States

Old Sacramento Historic District is a neighborhood filled with restored 19th-century buildings that reflect the Gold Rush era. The area sits along the river with original wooden storefronts, cobblestone streets, and a mix of museums, shops, and dining venues.

Old Sacramento Historic District formed south of the American River's mouth, where Gold Rush arrivals stocked up on provisions, tools and materials before heading to the Sierra Nevada. After commercial activity shifted east following the Gold Rush, the riverside buildings decayed until a large-scale redevelopment from the mid-1960s turned the district into a tourist site. It was listed as a National Historic Landmark District in 1965.

The district covers about 11 hectares along the Sacramento River, and roughly a third of it belongs to the Old Sacramento State Historic Park. The California State Railroad Museum and the docked paddle steamer Delta King anchor the riverfront, so allow time to walk between them.

About a third of the district's roughly 11 hectares is designated as the Old Sacramento State Historic Park, part of California's state park system. The district itself was listed as a National Historic Landmark District in 1965, the same period when its comprehensive redevelopment began.
