Conference '09

About Sacramento, CA

Conference Co-Sponsored by: California Department of Alcohol and Drug Programs

Discover Old Sacramento
Visitors can experience the beginnings of California's State Capital and Gold Rush era at the Old Sacramento Historic District. Strolls down the wooden boardwalks and cobblestone streets allow visitors to browse the 125+ shops, restaurants, and museums. On weekends you can usually hear Cajun, blues, or folk music in one of the several saloons and popular eateries. Tour the four blocks in a horse-drawn carriage or take a ride on a riverboat. The Spirit of Sacramento Riverboat Cruises has regular cruises along the shoreline, with superb views of many major buildings. Bustling with activity, this place offers it all. On site are the California State Railroad Museum, living history programs, and year-round events.
