Sacramento California Retirement

Sacramento

The Capital of California is located in California's "Gold Country" travel region in the inland central and somewhat northern portion of the state. Home to some of the state's richest history and most important Government agencies, Sacramento blends an extensive Government presence with historic and new neighborhoods. Old Town Sacramento offers tourists and local folks as well a step back into historic times. This area of several square blocks offers shopping, some excellent dining, and one of the best RailRoad museums in the country.
