Folsom Powerhouse SHP


I left the Folsom History Museum.

I took a short walk down the hill to the American River.

I reached Folsom Powerhouse State Historic Park.

The park preserves and interprets this turn of the century hydroelectric plant.



The powerhouse presided over a period of modernization in Sacramento Valley.



Rivers such as the American were tamed.



I headed back to the Mystery Machine.



Next stop: prison.
