Then stroll the surrounding Capitol Park; filled with thousands of varieties of plants.

Visit the 1878 Governor's Mansion; now a state museum with furnishings donated by 13 former governors. The Crocker Art Museum; opened in 1873; houses 19th-century Californian and European art. The nearby Towe Ford Museum displays every model made during Ford's first 50 years.

On the riverfront; Old Sacramento encompasses 26 acres of shops and restaurants in 1849-to-1870-vintage buildings. Walk through the California State Railroad Museum; the world's largest; to see 21 restored locomotives and a large collection of railroad memorabilia.
