Benicia Capitol State Historic Park is the site of California’s third seat of government (1853-1854). It is the only pre-Sacramento capitol that survives.

The original building has been restored with reconstructed period furnishings and exhibits. The interior includes a board-for-board reconstruction of the building’s original floor with ponderosa pine. The desks, three of which are originals from the Benicia period or earlier, are furnished with a candlestick, a 19th century newspaper, a quill pen and a top hat.

The historic park is located at 115 West G Street in Benicia, not far from Vallejo.
