Visitors to the Capitol can experience California's rich history and witness the making of history through the modern lawmaking process. At the State Capitol, the past, present and future of California interact with equal force. The building serves as both a museum and the state's working seat of government.
The California Museum, located in Sacramento, California, is a museum that celebrates the history, art, and culture of California. The museum is located in the downtown area, close to the California State Capitol building and other major Sacramento landmarks.
After a 14-year, $22 million restoration and rehabilitation, the Mansion is now open to the public as a museum. It also serves the citizens of California as the state’s official reception center for leaders from around the world. The Leland Stanford Mansion is a stunning example of the splendor and elegance of the Victorian era in California.
In 1863, California Governor Leland Stanford envisioned a Victorian garden “with a beauty and luxuriousness that no other capitol can boast†surrounding the California State Capitol. Well over a century and a half later, California’s Capitol Park has a luxuriousness and beauty that few capitols can compete with.
Downtown Sacramento is the central business district of the city of Sacramento, California. Sacramento's central city is composed of the downtown and Midtown neighborhoods and has a high concentration of restaurants, bars, attractions and parks.
