What was planned to be a planned carriage ride became an expedition by rowboat for Leland Stanford on the morning of January 10, 1862 to get to the State Capitol at 7th and I Streets from his mansion at 8th and N Streets for his inauguration as the 8th Governor of California. In this video, Shawn discusses this historic day during one of the worst floods in Sacramento’s history. This video was filmed on location at the Leland Stanford Mansion State Historic Park, the location of the former County Courthouse, and along the Sacramento River in Old Sacramento. #TodayInHistory #OnThisDay #sacramento #stanfordmansion #stanford #sacramentohistory #californiahistory #downtownsac #castateparks #sachistorymuseum
