Nice experience as a field trip. Crowd keeps on coming. Great way to know history. It is outdoor with exhibits inside the rooms which you peep in.

It was awesome to see all the different rooms set up how they would have been used. You could really imagine yourself in the 1840s wandering around. They are re-doing the roof on the central building, so today, entry was free.

I came here as a kid probably around 17 years ago so it was interesting seeing it again and trying to figure out what I remembered from back then. Patty Reed's doll is no longer on display but it's a cool spot to learn some history about California

Historic, memorable museum that shows how Sutter and his followers/workers/vaqueros/indigenous individuals lived in the 1800s. Incredible to see what the people who lived and worked at the fort did back then as you get to peek inside the different living and working spaces. State parks staff will answer your questions and guide you for the best experience. Inexpensive admission makes this a go-to when my kids and I want to be outdoors, do a little walking, and step into the past. There is a separate "Indian" Museum near the pond as well - not sure why they call it that (this is not India, it's California), but it displays items that indigenous individuals created, and you can get a sense of their culture.

So, let's start with some basics: The only original remaining structure of Sutter's Fort is the "main building"--a two story structure in the center of the complex. It was built between 1841 and 1843. Everything else at "Sutter's Fort State Historic Park" is a reconstruction, based on historic documentation.Entry is $5 for adults; $3 for ages 6 to 17; and children enter for free. Sutter's Fort State Historic Park does not have its own parking lot. Metered city parking is available on 26th and K streets, and there are several public parking lots in the vicinity. It has been 25 years since my last visit. Since then, a lot of re-construction and restoration work has been performed. There are a more displays and demonstrations than I remember. (Coincidentally, school field trips were taking place during my visit. I kept my distance, but was able to observe staff and volunteers give their presentations and conduct their demonstrations.)If you're interested in history, Sutter's Fort is well worth the visit. Everyone can walk away with from their visit with a number of different of interpretations, based on context of analysis. BTW ... The State Indian Museum is adjacent to the Fort. If you have the time, you can tour that museum for a separate admission fee.

In Sacramento with my kids, we always pass by this old cool looking house. We always wondered what it was. I looked it up online and I realized it's like a little Museum. We decided to stop by to check it out. I purchased the tickets which was very affordable $5 dollars for adults, and Youth $3 (ages 6 to 17) Children Free (5 and under) the hours are 10-5 everyday expect for holidays . This was a fun experience for me and the boys lots of history to be learned the self walk tour takes maybe 40 mins . They also have a cute gift shop inside my boys got some cold things from . The employees were very helpful and attentive. If you have any questions, you could always ask them. They also have clean bathrooms inside the building very cool place to check out ..

Awesome piece of history and the educational portion of how the fort came to be, the natives it impacted and the response from the Mexican government were eye opening. This isn't watered down history skewed to one side, it's an uncomfortable truth and something we should all remember to avoid the same mistakes in the future. Really well laid out and lots of artifacts from the past in plain view. Startling to see the amount of weaponry especially the cannons. The living conditions, low doorways, small rooms but everything was located inside these walls. There is an Native American Museum on the side of the fort as well. Parking is on the street and the area is and enjoyable environment for a walk and to just be outside.

I found a gorgeous crystal here for such a reasonable price too! I'm definitely planning to check out this sleep shop more often. It has great historical books and postcards and everything Sacramento.

Really interesting learning about the history of the Fort and seeing all of the original cannons, rooms, jail, and more. Spent about an hour looking at everything and taking pictures. The employees were all SO nice, wish I would've gotten names! Definitely recommend if you're looking to learn a little bit about history. The park is beautiful, overall.
