Underground Tour of Old Sacramento!
During a recent visit to Old Sacramento, my sister and I took an Underground Tour of some of its buildings. Our tour guide portrayed a character from the late 1800's and was knowledgeable about the city's history while staying in character during the one hour walking tour. I highly recommend this tour. It's interesting and fun. Thanks for watching! Have a happy & fun day! Learn more about Maria at
Historic Old Sacramento - Underground Tunnels and Old Buildings - Road Trip Day 11 Vlog 29
Historic Old Sacramento built on top of underground tunnels and old buildings - State Capitol of California. See it at:
Old Sacramento is located within the Old Sacramento Historic District which is a U.S. National Historic Landmark District. The city of Sacramento was developed in the mid-nineteenth century as an extension of Sutter's Fort as the Sacramento River was the main waterway to the west coast. John Sutter was the owner of the fort and Sutter's Mill where gold was found setting off the California Gold Rush.
The waterfront was subject to flooding on a regular basis before the levees were built. This caused much damage to the buildings in the area and brought in disease such as cholera.
In order to alleviate these problems, the city streets were raised a level. Most of the original sidewalks and storefronts have been destroyed or filled but many tunnels remain and there are underground tours if you care to visit them.
Some of the relics of the buildings in Old Sacramento have been preserved in a place called Pioneer Park. In 1849, Pioneer Park was a butcher shop known as City Market. During the gold rush, the shop grew from a one story to four story building but had fallen to disrepair and general neglect. It's a haunting look at the past and how much higher the city has been raised.

Step inside Old Sacramento's 'haunted' tunnels

Old Sacramento - Things to Do in Sacramento | California Travel Tips
Veronica Hill of California Travel Tips offers a guided tour of Old Sacramento State Historic Park in Sacramento, CA. Established in 1849, the Old Sacramento district was formed as eager miners, bankers and businessmen arrived for California's Gold Rush. Today, there are 53 historic Spanish-style buildings to explore, and many have been faithfully restored.
Old Sacramento attractions include the 1851 Big Four House, named for the founders of the First Transcontinental Railroad; and the 1853 B. F. Hastings Building, which once housed the Pony Express terminal and California's Supreme Court. During Sacramento's boom years, miners and pioneers flocked to the Eagle Theatre, which was established in 1849. This was the first permanent theater in California, and is rumored to be haunted by its former owner.
Set on 28 acres and roughly eight city blocks, Old Sacramento is packed with activities. You can tour Sacramento by electric bicycle or horse and carriage, explore the Sacramento Schoolhouse Museum, or hop aboard the California State Railroad Museum Sacramento Southern Railroad for a 40-minute train ride.
Old Sacramento was the terminus of the Transcontinental Railroad and the last stop on the Pony Express. At 2nd and J streets, you'll find the Pony Express Monument, which commemorates the 1,900-mile mail route from Missouri to Sacramento. Another monument honors Theodore Judah, the engineer who helped design the first Transcontinental Railroad.
In 1862, a record-breaking rainstorm flooded Sacramento, causing the city to raise the streets up to 14 feet by the 1870s. Underground Tours are offered through the Sacramento History Museum, where you can explore the legends that lurk beneath the city sidewalks; or you can check out Pioneer Park, which offers a glimpse at the lower levels of the city.
For a unique overnight, hang your hat at The Delta King, which is docked on the Sacramento River waterfront. This 1920s riverboat cruised between San Francisco and Sacramento until the 1940s and is one of the most unique and charming hotels in Sacramento. In 1982, the Delta King was restored to the tune of $9 million, and now boasts modern hotel rooms, a theater, wine school and two charming Old Sacramento restaurants.
One thing to remember — most of Old Town is metered parking, so you'll need some change to park. Change machines are located on almost every city block.

Sacramento Old City Cemetery - Part 1 Pioneers Of Our Past
Sacramento Old City Cemetery was established in 1849 by John Sutter captain of Sutter's Fort who founded the city and donated 10 acres of land to be used for public burial. Sadly a short time later a major Cholera epidemic outbreak occurred killing about a 1000 emigrants who came to Sacramento as a stage stop before heading up to the sierras in search of gold. During the 1850's many pioneers buried here were victims of fires, flooding and disease, As the years passed the cemetery expanded to over 60 acres containing some of the most beautiful monuments and graves in the state of California as it was Victorian by design. At one time this cemetery had a bell tower and a gate house even. Margaret Crocker in 1880 donated 23 acres of the cemetery who owned an observatory that overlooked this historic graveyard. In the 1800's many victims of the Cholera epidemic were buried in mass graves along with 3000 pioneers, various fraternal groups, mayors, governors and other politicians were served the state of California. Old City Cemetery is divided up into nine smaller cemeteries which includes veterans of the Civil War in the Grand Army Of The Republic, Masons, Spanish American War Soldiers, Pioneers and Fireman who started the first hook and ladder company in the state of California just to name a few. At one time the region was prone to severe flooding so many pioneers camped up the cemeteries hill to escape the rising waters in the 1860's. After the turn of the century the city began to neglect this cemetery many of the graves were exhumed to make room for the growing city streets and other structures. The cemetery for many years was forgotten, desecrated and vandalized. Names such as E.B. Crocker, William Stephen Hamilton, General George Wright, John Sutter, Members of the Donner Party, Mark Hopkins and many more notables were interred here which later led to graveyards historic status in the 1950's. Today the cemetery is not only a designated historical landmark but also a haunted one. Stories about a phantom dog, couple wearing all black, firefighter who greets cemetery visitors, heroic train engineer who saved his passenger and even a little girl who died of Encephalitis are said to haunt this cemeteries graves. We invite you to take a tour of one of the most beautiful pioneer cemeteries on the west coast which is full of nature, flowers, history, lore and beautiful craftsmanship of various monuments of the dearly departed.
