OLD SACRAMENTO

APRIL 3

Old Sacramento is a California Historical Landmark. The National Park Service named the entire original historic 1850s business district of Old Sacramento a National Historic Landmark in 1965. There are over 50 historic buildings, Old Sacramento has more buildings of historic value in its 28 acres than any area of similar size in the West

Old Sacramento was a taste of the Old West, complete with dirt and cobblestone streets flanked with wide wooden sidewalks and old west style buildings. There is a train museum there that had many actual train engines, memorabelia and miniature trains. We spent a lot of time in there, even I liked it. Larry has a lot of pictures on his camera. I'd recommend anyone going there. I should have Larry post about the museum on my blog.







Looks like the old West




Lots of shops and restaurants along the boardwalk




Note horse an buggy on the corner.



Love this architecture
