What We Do

Our mission is to educate, engage, and entertain the public on the streets of Old Sacramento
and within the Sacramento History Museum through the historical recreation of the individuals,
events, and activities of Sacramento’s rich history.

Keeping the past alive since 1995

No prior history knowledge necessary and all are welcome! All volunteers may utilize our costume closet to create your historic outfit or to augment your personal garments. If you would like to join the Living History program, please download and submit the SHA Volunteer Application found HERE.

We Bring History to Life

We are merchants, miners, doctors, proper ladies, soiled doves, blacksmiths. In short, we are the citizens of Sacramento City and we use the backdrop of Old Sacramento’s historic buildings and streets as a living street museum. Join us, won’t you?

The Argonaut

Northern California pioneers were called Argonauts in reference to those in ancient Greek mythology who sailed with Jason in his quest for the Golden Fleece.

We honor the men and women who toiled in those gold fields with this, our newsletter, The Argonaut.
