Save the Date: Outing to Benicia
Join with members of our club as we journey to historic Benicia, California. There we will learn about Califonia history as we visit the Benicia Capitol State Historic Park and The Museum of History Benicia.
The Benicia Capitol State Historic Park is dedicated to California's third capitol building, where the California State Legislature convened from February 3, 1853, to February 24, 1854, when they voted to move the state capital to Sacramento. It is the only pre-Sacramento capitol that remains. The park includes the Fischer-Hanlon House an early Benicia building that was moved to the property and converted into a home in 1858, after the legislature departed. The 14 room house is restored and furnished in 1880 decor.
