HistoryConsidered the gateway to the Mother Lode, Jamestown has both preserved and prospered long after the boom and bust years of the Gold Rush. Visitors strolling through the town will see period architecture in city buildings and homes. The railroad was one of Jamestown's primary assets from its earliest days. The town was named for Colonel George F. James, a wealthy attorney from San Francisco. The Historic National Hotel is one of a handful of continuously operating hotels since the Gold Rush. The Jamestown Hotel currently operating has been renovated and used for multiple purposes. Today the railroad continues to be a major part of life in Jamestown, as the home of the Steam Sierra Railway and Railtown 1897 State Historic Park. Railtown is a fully operational locomotive repair and maintenance facility and open for public tours, events and rides. Sonora, the County Seat, is located just 3 miles from Jamestown on Highway 49. At an elevation of 1,825 feet, Sonora is a colorful, bustling little city and is the market center for a large area. Many relics from its flamboyant past remain, including a large collection of Victorian homes, many of which are now bed and breakfasts. The city hosts the Mother Lode Roundup every Mother's Day weekend the second largest and one of the oldest parades in California. Columbia was one of the largest, richest, noisiest and fastest growing Gold Rush towns in the Mother Lode. The area known as the Gem of the Southern Mines, between 1850 and 1870 produced $87 million in gold over one billion dollars in today's market. Because Columbia became a state park in 1945, it was never completely deserted. Today Columbia is a town of living history with more original buildings than other Gold Rush era towns. Unlike many Gold Rush era communities, the buildings were built of brick, so the town was never destroyed by rampant fires burning the wooden structures in other towns. At its peak, Columbia was the second largest city in California. Columbia State Historic Park is located three miles north of Sonora, off Highway CA-49. A treasure of natural wonders and lively gold rush history, Tuolumne County offers visitors vivid scenery. A portion of Yosemite National Park lies within the county, along with giant redwood groves and impressive geological features. Both Bret Harte and Mark Twain wrote stories set in this area during the Gold Rush.

      "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. "
