The Square at Folsom Pioneer Village

A bakery café a block from Sutter Street: order at the counter, grab a table on the big patio, and they bring it out. The cake case is the whole point.

An independent inn at the edge of Historic Folsom, walking distance to Sutter Street and the river bike trail. The Premium rooms sleep four, and the pool is summer only.

Folsom's Gold Rush history on Sutter Street, small enough for short attention spans. Pair it with a walk down the old street.

The 1895 power plant that first lit up Sacramento, with the giant old generators still inside. Best for school-age kids, and a short walk from Sutter Street.

A mini pretend town modelled on real Folsom shops, with an espresso bar for the grown-ups, for kids one to ten.

Folsom's library, with a picture book room and drop-in story time for small kids, a short walk from the zoo and the mini train.
