The Folsom Powerhouse Museum is a landmark of California’s early electric history. Once among the first hydroelectric power stations in the nation, it began transmitting electricity from Folsom to Sacramento in 1895. Today, the powerhouse is preserved as a museum with original generators, control panels, and turbines still on display. Interpretive signs and guided tours explain how this groundbreaking technology helped fuel the growth of modern Sacramento. Surrounded by scenic parkland along the American River, the site offers both historical insight and outdoor recreation opportunities.
