Old Sacramento Underground tours offer a unique way to spend time during the holiday season perfect for individuals, families and groups of friends! Hidden beneath the city for nearly 150 years, Old Sacramento’s underground has long been the capital’s best-kept secret. Finishing out its fourth season, visitors have the opportunity to uncover the facts behind the legends that lie below historic buildings and sidewalks. Tour guests explore excavated foundations and enclosed pathways while entertaining and knowledgeable tour guides recount the tales of the devastation, perseverance, and determination that led to California’s only successful street-raising project. For all of the guided walking tours of the underground, guests should check in at the Sacramento History Museum before descending below several historic Old Sacramento buildings. Participants should be prepared to walk in areas with uneven surfaces and low ceilings and get ready to learn and have fun all along the way! Due to the popularity of the underground tours, advance tickets are recommended and are available at www.historicoldsac.org.
*Sunday, December 15, is the last Old Sacramento Underground Tour for 2013. The 2014 season will debut in early spring, more details to follow.
