The Crocker Museum is one of many sites offering hands-on activities, and a free print making workshop is scheduled to accompany the Walter O. Evans Collection of African American Art exhibition. The Golden State Museum also has hands-on activities that children will enjoy. They will feature a rubber stamp-making workshop that highlights the history of California. Two exhibits, Faces of Farming and Time of Remembrance, are the museum's current displays. Make sure to check out this month's zoo topic on Animal Courtship.
Visitors can learn about California's legislative goings-on in the process.
Only a few blocks away, the historic Governor's Mansion provides tours of the home in which 13 of this state's governors, from 1903 to 1967, have lived. The lush digs include 14-foot ceilings garnished with chandeliers, Persian rugs and French mirrors. To see where some of these past governors now reside, head over to the historic Sacramento City Cemetery. Jr. Sutter's Fort State Historic Park gives a glimpse back to the settlement established in 1839 by Sutter himself. The museum offers a historic version of the present day mall, adorned with a blacksmith's shop, a carpenter's workshop, and a bakery.
