Event

Candlelight 2013

When darkness falls and lends a bit of mystery to the Fort, guests will see Sutter's Fort in a new light -- by candlelight! Providing an alluring new perspective for visitors, Sutter's Fort offers evening tours by candlelight. Guides will lead small groups of visitors into the Fort's more intimate rooms for intriguing glimpses into the private lives of those who uprooted their families for a better life in early California. Fort visitors will overhear conversations such as families discussing opportunity or possible devastation in their new homes, husbands debating with wives, mothers re-assuring their children about life in rough and tumble Sacramento, tradesmen negotiating business, all surrounded by the night sky allowing visitors to travel back in time as city lights fade from view.

Includes pie, coffee/cocoa and a souvenir cup at the conclusion of the tour
