Sacramento: The Soul of the Railroad

Join the Old City Cemetery for a special tour celebrating the sesquicentennial (150th) anniversary of the completion of the Transcontinental Railroad. From the concept of Theodore Judah, the sketches by his wife Anna, the capital of the Big Four and the hammering of the Golden Spike, Sacramento was fully invested in the notion of connecting East and West coasts. You’ll meet the financiers, the laborers, the officials, and the forgotten souls that built the greatest undertaking of the 19th century.
