Description
This circa 1915 postcard shows Capitol Park, a 40-acre arboretum, famous for its 40,000 trees, shrubs and flowers. Among its attractions are its renowned gardens, including the rose and cactus gardens. A bronze statue of Fr. Junipero Serra stands before a relief map of the missions he established, and a Vietnam Memorial also graces the grounds as well. Stretching beyond the State Capital, a series of state buildings, the Elks Building, Cathedral and Tower Bridge spanning the Sacramento River can be seen in the distance.
