Although the gold rush is long over, there is a ?wealth? of adventure and activity to be found in Placerville, the heart of the historic Mother Lode. If you can?t find it here, it?s not far away.

What Makes Placerville Unique?

• Gold Bug Park and Mine - the park offers a 61.5-acre facility, covered picnic areas, gold mine tours, gem panning, hiking trails, museum, gift shop and stamp mill, and is part of the National Register of Historic Sites. 
• "Old Hangtown" -  Placerville is nicknamed "Old Hangtown" (due to the fact that many people were hanged in the late 1800s), this can be seen on the street markers in town. A belltower, once used as a warning bell for fire, is located on main street which is a landmark in the area.
• Pony Express -  was also on the line of the Pony Express, a short-lived mail carrier service that connected California to the Midwest and East (basically from Sacramento to St. Joseph, Missouri). The Pony Express eventually gave way to the efficiencies of railroad transportation.
