A wooden palisade towers over Sacramento’s city streets, casting long shadows that hold centuries of conflict, ambition, and secrets.

Uncover the capital’s hidden stories on a self-guided audio tour that leads you from Sutter’s Fort to the grandeur of the Governor’s Mansion, through the echoes of New Helvetia, and beyond. Discover legends and oddities tucked well away from the guidebooks.

Who conspired behind locked doors in the Governor’s parlor and nearly changed California’s destiny overnight? What mysterious cargo vanished from Sutter’s Fort without explanation? Why did a Swiss pioneer gamble everything—and what did he really lose when gold fever swept through the land?

Move between whispered revolts and public scandals. Feel a city transformed by ambition, betrayal, and reinvention. Every landmark holds a new layer waiting to be revealed as you walk.
