"Jamestown has a lot of history. A small gold rush mining town just minutes from historical state park, Columbia California. Jamestown also has the old steam engines and train cars and give rides on the weekends for a reasonable price. The kids love it!"

"Great vacation area. Lake Tulloch, beautiful, amazing fishing. Only one of three public lakes in California you can build a house on. Two hours by car to San Francisco (off comute hours), two hours to Yosemite."

"Jamestown is one of the most charming and tidiest towns in California. It is super friendly with wonderful historic houses, a stunning Old West main street, great cafe's and antique shops, restaurants and hotels as well as the joys of the Steam engine rides and museum at the Railroad State Park which every child and adult adores. The local school and churches make it very family orientated too and everyone is welcoming and friendly. This is one of the gems of California and Gold Country. "
