Emerging during the California Gold Rush, Nevada City is a historic, quaint city. As one of California’s best preserved Gold Rush towns, you’ll see the town’s rich past reflected in the vibrant downtown area. In this historic district, gorgeous 19thcentury buildings have transformed into quirky shops, eclectic boutiques, low-key cafes, diverse eateries, neighborhood bars, and entertainment venues. Catch a show at the Nevada Theatre, the oldest theatre venue on the west coast, or dance the night away at Haven Underground. If you want to learn more about Nevada City’s role in the Gold Rush, visit the Firehouse Museum, which showcases relics from the era. You can even try your luck and pan for gold in one of the town’s rivers!
Located one hour northeast of Sacramento, nestled in a basin in the Sierra Nevada a few miles west of the Tahoe National Forest, Nevada City is a great option for nature lovers.
