Museum sights in Sacramento

1. A Map

   Huntington & Hopkins Hardware

   • Sacramento, USA
   • Sights › Museum

   Drop by the Huntington & Hopkins Hardware, an exhibit of the business run by two of the Big Four railroad barons. The store, a rough reproduction, is stocked with the innocuous merchandise (doorknobs, lanterns, railroad spikes etc) upon which some huge fortunes, and the nation's most important railroad, were built.

2. California Museum

   • Sacramento, USA
   • Sights › Museum

   The attractive, modern California Museum is home to the California Hall Of Fame – perhaps the only place to simultaneously encounter Cesar Chavez, Mark Zuckerburg and Amelia Earhart. The newly opened exhibit California Indians: Making A Difference is the state's best view of the traditions and culture of California's first residents, past and present.
