Visit this historic park and see the historic Benicia Capitol Building. This is the third capital building to be used by the California State Legislature, which was active from 1853 to 1854. The capital eventually moved to Sacramento, and the building was converted into a museum with period furnishings and exhibits. It is now on the US Register of National Historic Places and a California Historic Landmark. Besides the main capitol building, the park also contains a carriage house, outdoor garden, and worker is quarters.
