The Historic Old Sacramento Foundation and the Sacramento History Museum are proud to present Gold, Greed & Speculation: The Beginnings of Sacramento City in the museum’s lobby gallery. Visitors have the unique opportunity to explore the city’s first fifty years. The exhibit storyline goes beyond Sacramento’s origins as a gold rush boomtown, as the story is more complex than just miners seeking their fortunes in gold. Sacramento's early days are marked by surprises and contrasts, riches and scarcity, generosity and greed, and violence and beauty.

Visitors can explore this history and discover the colorful characters from a variety of cultures; vast wealth gained, lost, and gained again. They can meet the individuals that forged the city, better understand its development and how its citizens withstood catastrophic floods, fires, and epidemics in the first years of its existence. Sacramento’s citizens persevered and rebuilt the city again and again playing an instrumental role in establishing it as the capital city of the State of California.
