Tour

Tour Guides:
Dick Dotters and Evan Gage
The Gold Rush brought forth unimaginable wealth from the
mines of California and the Sierra Nevada while the
Transcontinental Railroad made western migration and
expansion possible on a scale not seen since ancient
times. Come hear tales of the backbreaking labor,
unending danger, and vast wealth that bound our young
nation ‘from sea to shining sea.'
The tour commences at 10 am from the Cemetery’s main
gate at Broadway and 10th Street. Visitors may park
across the street from the 10th Street Gate and meet at
the cemetery entrance. Held under the auspices of the
City of Sacramento Division of History & Science, the
Old City Cemetery Committee, Inc. presents this tour as
a public service.
For tour information please call (916) 448-0811. Tours
