California Vietnam Veterans Memorial
Veterans Sculpture Garden Memorial
Sacramento, California
NE corner of the State Capitol grounds at 15th St. and Capitol Ave.

.This memorial contains several full relief bronze statues depicting daily life of the soldiers, nurses and POWs during the Vietnam war. The granite
panels contain 5,822 names of Californians, arranged by home town.

B.T.Collins, a well-known figure in California government (and former Special Forces Captain, who lost a leg and an arm in Vietnam), was a major driving force in the movement to get the memorial built with $2.5 million in donations. No taxpayer dollars were used.

On Memorial Day weekend, veterans from all branches of service and their families, show up for the ceremonies, including a moving "Table for One" ceremony honoring POW-MIAs.


CowBoy Area.
Old Town Sacramento is a place with a Wild West backstory full of gold rush miners, merchants, and madams. It looks like the Old West, too: Most of the area's 53 original buildings date from the mid-1800s. In some ways, though, it's more a theme-park-style concoction than a slice of real history.

Visitors' opinions of Old Sacramento vary. Some people think it's cheesy, a tourist trap that's not amazingly fun and maybe going downhill. But more than three-fourths of people think it’s quaint and nostalgic and rate it good or excellent.

Will you like it? That depends on your expectations. What you'll find in Old Town are lots of well-preserved buildings and ways to explore the city's rich history. Behind the nineteenth-century exteriors, you'll find places to shop and eat, which some people describe as "modern tourist traps in old buildings." If you're a history nerd, you'll love it. If you like places like Old Town San Diego and Old Town Pasadena, you'll probably like it too. If you're looking for a lot of exciting activity or a re-creation of history more like Colonial Williamsburg, you may be disappointed.

The Old Town Sacramento Story
In 1848, California pioneers Samuel Brannan and John Augustus Sutter, Jr. built a town where the American and Sacramento Rivers meet. That same year, gold was discovered at Sutter's Mill nearby. Prospectors soon arrived in droves on their way to the gold fields. The city now called Sacramento became California's state capitol in 1854.

Over the next century, the commercial district moved away from the river to avoid floods. Soon, the old part of town became known as the worst skid row west of Chicago. Redevelopment began in the 1960s, and 28 acres of land in Old Sacramento became the first historic district in the western United States.

Old Town Sacramento Historic Park
Most of today's Old Town is part of the Old Sacramento State Historic Park, sitting on the bank of the Sacramento River. Historic buildings include a reconstruction of the first building erected in California as a theater; an early home to the California Supreme Court; and the place where businessmen Collis Huntington, Mark Hopkins, Jr., Leland Stanford, and Charles Crocker started the Transcontinental Railroad.
