Description
Horse and carriage occupy a dirt-covered stretch of Second Street in this 2000 postcard, commemorating Gold Rush Days. Started in 1998, event organizers bring in an average of 200 tons of dirt to add authenticity of the celebration that aims to bring back Sacramento's role as epicenter of the California Gold Rush, lasting from 1848 to 1855.
