    California Cavern State Historic Landmark - Inside the cave

    California Cavern State Historic Landmark

    What a cool experience. Got there for the 10:00 am tour, and I was the only guest. The walk to…read morethe cave is only about five minutes, but there's no shade so the earlier the better as the temps heat up. Inside the cave is about 50°. I have no issues with claustrophobia, but if you do there is one tight squeeze that might be a problem. Cash, my tour guide, turned off the lights (after asking my permission) and we experienced total darkness for maybe thirty seconds. It felt like two hours, and I hated it , but still neat and recommend trying if offered. Use the hand rails. They are there for your safety.

    The drive here is much more involved than Mercer Caverns with more windy and narrow roads. Once you…read moreget closer the space opens up to a large parking lot and shop you meet at. We were the only ones that signed up for the earliest tour that day and were lucky to have a private tour. The tour has informative history about the caverns with landmarks along the way. The most interesting thing we didn't know about is they have caving adventure tours where you shimny through holes and narrow spaces with a guide but our kids aren't old enough to partake. This was the first show cave in California and townspeople lived in them during harsh winters in the 1800s. There was a bar inside and a church and nails were even given to people to carve on the walls. Because of this there are signs of harm everywhere with soot, broken formations, and dirty coloration from human hand oils and even champagne poured on a rock formation. The caverns are huge and beautiful with some jaw-dropoing rooms. The walking tour is very safe though we loved the slight danger and claustrophobic feel of the Mercer Caverns. When you leave the shop has some cool historical items pulled from the caves on display like glass bottles, etc .. that are worth checking out.

    The Southern Pacific Railroad Superintendent's House is yet another one of Historic Folsom's spots…read moreon the National Register for Historic Places. While the address is technically on Oakdale Street, the house is actually visible from Folsom Blvd. It sits just behind the Folsom Parkway Rail Trail, in front of the old rail yards between Natoma and Bidwell. A sign outside the house reads: "Southern Pacific Railroad Superintendent's House This house was built around 1915 for the railroad section superintendent and his family. From here, the superintendent oversaw Folsom's junction railroad operations until the late 1950's. The superintendent's house is listed on the National Register for Historic Places." To be honest, it's not the most interesting landmark I've come across in Folsom. I had to read the application for the NRHP to find out what was even special about it. Apparently, the architecture is unique. Also, the Southern Pacific Railroad had some very interesting housing hierarchies for its employees, housing them in everything from bungalows to box cars. This landmark is one of the best remaining examples of how a high-ranking employee was housed. For more information, I would recommend reading the NRHP paperwork, which is currently available on the NPS website at: https://bit.ly/3kR2ukh There is no parking near the landmark, but it is within walking distance from either the Historic Folsom or Glenn lightrail station via the Parkway Rail Trail.
