"The Pioneer Hall was built in 1868 as headquarters of the Sacramento Society of California Pioneers, which was organized February 6, 1853. It has been owned and cared for since its construction by the California Pioneer Association, descendants of the original organizers who were among those who arrived in California prior to January 1, 1850.
Nathaniel Goodell was the architect for many significant local buildings, most notably the Governor's Mansion on H Street. The Pioneer Hall was constructed by J.G. Plummer for the sum of $6,550 in gold coin. The Native Sons of the Golden West was originally organized from sons of those early pioneers in 1875. Sacramento Parlor No.3 first met in this building when the parlor was organized in 1878."
