One of the earliest towns to be founded in California was Sacramento during the Gold Rush. Old Sac is committed to restoring historical structures so that we can think back on the past. People from all over the world relocated to Sacramento with the hope of getting wealthy. But a number of tragedies, including floods, fires, and a troubled history, cast a shadow on those dreams. We will visit haunted trains, boats, and tunnels throughout our tour. Discover what lurks below the city's streets. Learn about the disasters that took place in the region during the early days of rail travel. Meet two businessmen that created this city during the Gold Rush and learn about a young child whose heart-warming story has touched people's hearts all around Sacramento. Our exclusive Sacramento Ghosts tour covers all of this and more.

Kid friendly activity. The Kennedy Gold Mine is a non-profit 501(c)3 museum, a CA Historical Landmark, and is listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places as the principal part of the Kennedy Mine Historic District. The Kennedy Mine Foundation was established in 1996 with the purpose of preserving the Kennedy Mine and its property for its historical significance and wildlife habitat. The Foundation holds the deed to the Kennedy Mine property, which was transferred from the estate of Sybil Arata in 1997. Over the years, the Foundation has worked to rehabilitate the property, starting with basic cleanup and followed by much-needed repair and maintenance. In the early years, limited tours of the property were started, and several buildings were opened to the public. Today, the Foundation continues its efforts to rehabilitate additional buildings, expand exhibits, and restore portions of the iconic head frame. The Kennedy Mine, which was the deepest mine in North America when it was closed during World War II, represents not only the California Gold Rush but also the technological advancements in mining that followed. It served as a place that brought men from all over the world together in pursuit of gold, as evident from the employment records in the Archives that show the extensive travel undertaken by men to follow the lure of gold.
