Situated in the heart of Old Sacramento State Historic Park, the 1849 Scene is bordered by "I" and "J" Streets, Front Street, and Commonwealth Alley. It is composed of a large, sloped grassy area with a paved perimeter, surrounded by historic buildings. The 1849 Scene can accommodate large events with several thousand people.
