Sacramento sits where the American and Sacramento rivers meet, surrounded by some of the most productive farmland in the world. That's why the city calls itself America's Farm-to-Fork Capital.

History is everywhere: the domed State Capitol, the wooden boardwalks of Old Sacramento and the California State Railroad Museum, which tells the story of the transcontinental railroad that began here.
