In 1839, Swiss immigrant John Sutter established a fort that became Sacramento's first settlement. It was also a favorite stop-over for travelers in the community's early days. That fort has now been restored to its 1850s appearance and presents a variety of exhibits whose significance is related via self-guided tours and hand-held radio narratives. Experience living quarters, a jail, bakery, and blacksmith shop as residents many years ago would have known them.
