Everything Else

The career of country singer Johnny Cash was flagging in the late 1960s when he had a brilliant idea: perform and record a live concert in front of a room full of convicts. The resulting #1 album, "At Folsom Prison," resurrected Cash's career and blasted Folsom into the American pop culture mainstream like a water cannon aimed at rioting inmates. You can visit the Museum (a small charge) but very educational and interesting.

Parks & Nature

Folsom Zoo and Animal Sanctuary - within walking distance of Sutter Street (though with small children I would recommend driving) Open 10-4 - learn the history of each of the animals enjoying their lives there. Take note - ask about Prince Charles - the oldest male peacock who is a beauty!
