Online Highways Home > California > Folsom City Map with Features Historic Folsom Powerhouse State Historic Park A man by the name of H.P. Livermore realized that the water of the American River could turn generators for electricity in Sacramento, 22 miles downstream. The first long-distance transmission of hydro power was generated by this powerhouse and the energy was sent to Sacramento. Along with the opening of the powerhouse came the tradition of the "grand electric carnival" and parade in Sacramento. Vintage generators are all still in place at the powerhouse. The powerhouse is capable of conducting 800 to 11,000 volts of electrictiy from each of its transformers. The recreation area of the powerhouse is located near the town of Folsom and can be reached via either Highway 50 or I-80. Group Tours are available throughout the week by special arrangement. Please call for more information. Read reviews and find hotels in Folsom. Location: Foot of Riley Street, Folsom California Other upcoming events include: San Francisco Jazz Festival San Francisco continuing thru November 21
