Historic Old Sacramento - Underground Tunnels - Road Trip Day 11 Episode 29

[robertpaulsen]

Old Sacramento is located within the Old Sacramento Historic District which is a U.S. National Historic Landmark District. The city of Sacramento was developed in the mid-nineteenth century as an extension of Sutter’s Fort as the Sacramento River was the main waterway to the west coast. We had a lot of fun walking and exploring the waterfront!

1. I used to go to Old Town Sacramento-- restaurants, art galleries, etc.

Didn't realize what lurked beneath! Fascinating

[robertpaulsen]

2. Yeah, Pioneer Park is quite a trip!

Have you been inside the Underground wine tasting area? I really wish I could have seen inside, but it was pretty early in the morning when we visited, so it wasn't open yet.

3. I will be there in late summer. Thanks for the preview

[robertpaulsen]

4. You're welcome, lunasun!

Hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

5. My kids joke about having to drag me out of the railroad museum.

I could easily spend a day in there.

[robertpaulsen]

6. I love that place!

I wish we had time to do a more comprehensive video there!

[Brother Buzz]

9. I could spend a day just in the mail car

The whole operation was totally slick and sucked me in; I studies it from soup to nuts

As a kid, I remember seeing the mail hook in action in a Podunk town in the Sacramento valley. The postmaster retrieving the mailbag tossed from the train was anticlimactic. I only regret I never got to see the mailbag slam into the mail car at 50 MPH from the inside of the mail car.

7. Some pictures we took of Old Sacramento Historic District.

[Mr.Bill]

8. I had a disturbing experience in Old Town Sacramento.

In a museum there I saw an old linotype machine. It's very disturbing to see a piece of machinery that you used to run for a living in a museum.
