From the Gold Rush forward, Sacramento had a tremendous need for infrastructure. Not just roads and levees, but law enforcement, fire protection, and courts. Sacramento’s Historic City Cemetery is home to many pioneer lawmen, lawyers, judges and firemen, whose stories will be shared on this tour, along with stories of what happens when these systems do not function, as demonstrated by the February 1851 Vigilance Committee that hung murderer Frederick Rowe.
