About this place

A museum dedicated to Sacramento's past, located in the city's historic district. Families can explore exhibits on Gold Rush history, early Sacramento newspapers, and local heritage. The museum includes an underground section showing how the city managed flooding in the 1860s and 1870s. Visitors watch working printing presses demonstrate 1850s newspaper production. A baseball exhibition features uniforms, equipment, and memorabilia. The museum runs costumed history presentations, ghost tours of old buildings, and family programs including badge-earning activities for Girl Scouts. Underground tours cover both daytime history and evening stories about the Gold Rush era.

If you are a member here

A membership to Sacramento History Museum carries reciprocal admission, so the same card is worth free or discounted entry at other places in these programs.

Reciprocal programs are built for travel and most exclude places close to the one where you hold your membership, so this is worth the most when you are away from home. How reciprocal memberships work
