Join us for our Dia de Los Muertos exhibition, through November 10^th. Dive into the rich traditions that honor those who have passed, including the remarkable contributions of early Sacramento leaders who helped shape our beloved city.

Leave a message to your loved one and unleash your creativity with a crafting activity. This pop-up exhibit, located on the 3rd floor, is included with your museum admission.

Come join the “ghosts” of early Sacramento for an eerie journey through the city’s shadowy past with the Sacramento History Museum’s annual Ghost Tours. Whether you’re a history buff or just love a good ghost story, hear tantalizing tales of how folks lived – and died! – in our fair city.

On November 6, 2024, the Museum will be open to homeschool groups to participate in some of our educational programs. We will have some scheduled and timed programs that will be led by docents and some drop-in programs where docents can provide assistance and participants can go at their own pace. The day will start at 10am and go until 4pm.

Experience a rare and unique opportunity to go behind-the-scenes and get a hands-on opportunity at a centuries old craft. Book a Print Shop Experience where you and up to three guests can become a Printer and create your own Wanted Poster, press prints, and get the history on our antique presses.
