Back by popular demand, the Sacramento Historic Old Sacramento Foundation is proud to now offer ongoing “adults only” Old Sacramento Underground Tours starting on Thursday evening, April 11, at 6 p.m.  

Entertaining and knowledgeable guides will lead tour guests on one-and-a-half-hour evening walking tours that explore some of the dark secrets and racy tales lurking in Old Sacramento’s underground history. Hidden beneath the city for nearly 150 years, Old Sacramento’s historic underground always offers a unique tour experience that unearths the legends that lie below historic buildings and sidewalks.  Tour guests explore excavated foundations and enclosed pathways while tour guides recount the tales of the devastation, perseverance, and determination that led to California’s only successful street-raising project.  

New for 2013, the “adults only” tours will delve into tales of personal hygiene, health and living standards of the times.

All aboard the California State Railroad Museum’s excursion railroad, the Sacramento Southern Railroad!  The 2013 operating season officially opens the weekend of April 6-7, with rides continuing every Saturday and Sunday through September 2013.   This year marks the 30th consecutive year that the California State Railroad Museum has offered these popular excursion train rides.   Since 1984, well over one million guests have been carried aboard the Sacramento Southern Railroad, served by all-volunteer crews fully trained and certified under Federal Railroad Administration regulations.

Excursion trains depart from the Central Pacific Railroad Freight Depot in Old Sacramento (located on Front Street between J and K Streets). Departures are on-the-hour from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
