Shawn gives an update on how the Sacramento River looks this week viewing from the West Sacramento side opposite of Old Sacramento. The river is a lot higher than a couple weeks ago due some recent storms. Rain has subsided for now but we are in for some more rain in the near future. Please note, we did have some slight issues with our audio equipment. Offering content on location in a variety of weather conditions sometimes has its setbacks. #SacHistoryMuseum #museum #sacramento #history #oldsa

The original hotel burned down, along with 80 percent of Sacramento, on November 2, 1852. The Orleans planned to have its grand opening on January 1st but a New Year’s flood made the celebration small and unsuccessful.

The Our House Saloon at 926 Second Street has a very long history in Old Sacramento, even for being a small building wedged between the Baker & Hamilton building to the north and the Sazerac Saloon building to the south. Henry Gibson, a local African American merchant, opened the Our House Saloon in this building in late 1868. The Our House Saloon offered “superior Wines, Liquors and Cigars,” a billiard table, and free lunch daily. Gibson would routinely advertise his saloon in “The Elevator,” a

He printed an image from a modern photo engraving based on a lithograph of the building published in 1857. From all of us at the building tucked

Happy “official” 176th birthday, Sacramento! On February 27, 1850, Sacramento became an incorporated city in the territory of California. California, however, did not become a state until September 9, 1850. Sacramento City was founded along Sacramento River’s waterfront, where Old Sacramento is today, in December 1848 when John Sutter Jr. and Samuel Brannan hired Captain William H. Warner, Lt. William Tecumseh Sherman, and Lt. Edward O. Ord to survey the land from Sutter’s Fort to the Sacramento

The wood type used is 15 line pica in size and the typeface is French Clarendon. To beat the heat this summer, come cool off at the Sacramento History Museum! We are open everyday from 10am t
