I am not sure what I was looking for but this was not it.... I know that the National Park Service has fallen on hard times but.... It needs a big face lift and some modern presentations....

I saw Sutter's Fort as a teenager. On this visit I was disappointed in the current displays. The Rangers pleaded budget cuts. This is a significant part of California's history and should be preserved well.
Lots to see and do. The Fort has reenactments. Be sure to check dates for these events.
Was interesting for about 10 minutes just to understand history of Sacremento but wouldn't spend too long.
Came here with my daughter for her 3rd grade field trip. Lots of good info, with people dressing up in period clothes on certain dates. Not much parking around the area.
It is a good historical site, so it is a good location for a family visit, to show the kids, and to see for ourselves as adulsts, how the pioneers lived in the old days. The old Western style life style. The visit will take about an hour.
Good history, but not alot to see. Good neighborhood, and good for kids, make sure you bring bread to feed the ducks.
Great place to take kids for a morning or afternoon trip. Cheap and they will have fun. Parents will enjoy the experience too. Be sure to visit the Indian Museum in the park too - it is even better than the fort.
It was interesting but very spartan information-wise.
In this day of "high tech", try some good old fashioned show and tell of how things used to be - and you'll be refreshed with the pioneer spirit that those hardy sould had to give us the foundations of what we so richly enjoy today. Just take an hour and step back in time - enjoy!
