Stepping onto the raised wooden boardwalks of the Old Sacramento Waterfront feels like dropping your family straight onto a 19th-century Gold Rush film set. Cobblestone intersections, horse-drawn carriages, and the distant rumble of train whistles give this 28-acre National Historic Landmark an undeniable storybook charm.
