Sutter’s Fort – The Inside Story

After touring around the outside of the fort we ventured inside. First we had to pay the entrance fee of $6 per person ($3 for those aged 6 to 16) because this was a living history day when volunteeers dressed up in period costumes and performed demonstrations of daily life back in the 1840’s. Normal admission is $4 per adult, $2 for those aged 6 to 16, age 5 and under are free. There is a self guided audio tour that is available every day they are open.

Here is an old photograph, a medal, a powder horn and an old pistol.

Sacramento – The Beginning

We’re going to Sutter’s Fort, the birthplace of Sacramento. It is two square blocks located between 26th and 28th Streets and between L and K Streets in Sacramento’s Midtown area. Or you can just follow these signs after you exit the Captial City Freeway (Business Route for I-80).
