Old Sacramento ποΈ

The architecture here preserves mid-19th-century charm, with many buildings restored to their original condition for visitors to explore. The streets and structures showcase life from that time, including wooden houses, steam trains, and gold mining equipment. πͺ΅π Not only is Old Sacramento a preserved historical site, but itβs also a vibrant commercial and entertainment center.
