Mariposa

Late Spring & Summer

in Mariposa County Because of the variety of elevations in Mariposa County, spring wildflower displays start early in the lower country near Ben Hur, Catheys Valley and Hornitos. Warm days and cool nights invite visitors to this most beautiful time of the year. Wildflower season lasts almost six months in Mariposa County with the high country of Yosemite presenting the last displays of summer.

The museums in Mariposa and Coulterville give the history buff a wide variety of experiences from the Northern Mariposa County History Center in Coulterville, to the Mariposa Museum and History Center and the

California State Mining and Mineral Museum in Mariposa. The “Whistling Billy Steam Engine” displayed under Coulterville’s “Hanging Tree”, welcomes the visitor to this Gold Rush town.

At the Mariposa Museum, a collection of mining machinery, including an operating stamp mill, carriages and wagons, and an extensive Native American display will be of great interest.

At the California State Mining and Mineral Museum, located one mile south of Mariposa on Hwy 49 So., one can view the Fricot Nugget, a 201.4 troy ounce specimen of crystalline gold, as well as the official California

Gold Country Adventures • Volume 3, Issue 1 2011

State collection of minerals and artifacts. The restored 1852 Von Schmidt map of the Fremont Mexican Land Grant, Las Mariposas, is on permanent display.

Mariposa County is eventoriented with many local spring and early summer activities.

Spring ends with the Buck-N-Bash Bull Riding at the Mariposa Fair Grounds on June 2. This popular event is usually a sell out so get your tickets early. Information for all events listed, and others scheduled for the spring, can be obtained from the Mariposa County Visitors Center in Mariposa by calling 1-(866) 425-3366 or visiting www.mariposa.org.

Mariposa Recreation Bicycling Mariposa County has many great roads for road and mountain bikes.

Road cyclists can enjoy lower foothill roads with beautiful scenery, generally good pavement, very little auto traffic, and a variety of grades for everyone.

A popular road (with bicyclists) is Highway 49N from Mariposa to Bagby to Coulterville.

This highway has very little auto traffic, steep grades, and spectacular views of the lower Merced River Valley.

Mountain bikers can explore several Forest Service roads in the Midpines area and farther south in Bootjack that offer challenges and rewards.

Fishing Visitors are able to purchase five-day or limited fishing licenses in Mariposa.

A majority of fishing trails are in Native Trout designated areas so only flies without barbs are permitted.

Check with the Forest Service and review the rules when fishing the

Merced River. A catch and release method of fishing ensures that fish are available for our future generations.

the Merced River as the dividing line—the Sierra National Forest is to the south and the Stanislaus is to the north.

River Rafting The Merced River is a class IV. As the river drops, it becomes a class III.

Maps are available at the Visitors Center and in some stores in Mariposa as well as in Coulterville.

Hiking Experience the Sierra by hiking. Fifty-seven percent of Mariposa County is public land, so land for hiking is not a problem.

Some places to go are the Sierra National Forest and Stanislaus National Forest with Volume 3, Issue 1 2011 • Gold Country Adventures

The Jeffery Hotel is beyond question the most dramatic architecture in Coulterville. It was built in 1851 as a saloon and fandango hall. It was originally a two story building, and its adobe walls are thirty inches thick. The Hotel was purchased by George Jeffery in 1852 and the family owned and operated it for many years. Each rebuilding of the hotel made it bigger and better. Today it is a commanding three-story hotel. Our late 26th President of the United States, Theodore Roosevelt, stayed at the Jeffery Hotel in 1902.

Coulterville Recreation Camping There are five major recreation areas at Lakes McClure and McSwain: Lake McSwain, McClure Point, Barrett Cove, Horseshoe Bend and Bagby. They have an average elevation of 400 to 1,000 feet and provide pine and oak woodland settings. All areas offer swimming and sandy beaches.

If you have a favorite campsite, a reservation is usually available if made at least two weeks prior to your arrival date. Call Toll-free 800-468-8889.

Boating Lakes McClure and McSwain recreational areas offer options.

Available at each recreation area, are comfort stations, fish cleaning facilities and plenty of parking for cars and trailers nearby. Convenient marinas provide mooring, boat rentals, bait and tackle, ice, gas, oil and groceries.

Celebration Events & Experiences That Allow One to be Young John Muir Saturday, June 4th is the anniversary of the dedication of the John Muir Historic Route, the 14 mile stretch of highway extending from Coulterville, up J-132 to its terminus at Hwy. 120.

“Family friendly” events will take place in Lake Don Pedro, Coulterville, Greeley Hill and Groveland that day, many of which are free, an all of which will allow participants to experience Muir’s love of nature and his appreciation of the unique beauty of the surrounding foothills… the gateway to the High Sierras.

Groveland

The Historic Iron Door Saloon in Groveland was built sometime before 1852. It was first called the “Granite Store” because the front and back walls are made of solid granite blocks. The roof consists of three feet of sod, covered by tin. The Iron Door is the oldest, continually operating saloon in the State of California and is owned by local resident Peter Barsotti.

Groveland’s

Dog Mayor Only in a small gold country town like Groveland can you find a dog who runs the whole town!

DAVID WILKINSON PHOTOGRAPHY

In 2009, Goose ran for the town’s ‘Honorary Mayoral’ position and actually won! Camera crews and reporters came from all over California to interview his ‘dogness’ as he welcomed visitors from near and far.

Goose ran again in 2010 and lost his bid to Naughty Nadele — a local Soroptimist. So these days you can still find Goose at most of the local events as well as at the Hotel Charlotte where he still greets guests with his owners, Lynn and Victor.

Jamestown

The Colonel

C

in Jamestown

olonel James was a lawyer in San Francisco, and because of this, the people appointed him to serve as Alcalde (chief judicial officer) of Jamestown. James also operated a hotel and store and gained considerable fame after serving as the defense attorney during the first murder trial in Tuolumne Country in the spring of 1849.

It started when a gambler by the name of Atkins shot into the saloon, killing an Irishman named Boyd. The Irish and other foreign miners were all for hanging Atkins

on the spot, but Colonel James set up a guard to protect him until an official from out of town, James Frazier, could arrive the next morning to hear a jury trial. Atkins was found guilty of murder, was fined $500 and given 24 hours to leave town. He paid his fine and took off for Northern California where he was later elected sheriff of Siskiyou County.

One morning, the town awoke to find that James had made a hasty exit during the night. Among his many activities, he had been paying script against investments

in his mining projects. The scripts far exceeded any proceeds the project would produce. Many in the town were in dire financial straits.

The miners were angry enough to change the town’s name to American Camp; however, the post office had been established by the government so the name remained Jamestown.

San Andreas/Angels Camp

San Andreas It’s Not Our Fault from Calaveras Visitors’ Bureau

S

an Andreas was settled by Mexican Gold Miners in 1848.

By 1850 over 1000 tents dotted the hillsides. The first church, built in 1852, was a canvas structure with a simple cross over the door designating it a church of the Roman Catholic faith. It was named for St. Andrew. Andreas had been a disciple of John the Baptist and he was the first disciple of Jesus. So the name of

the town, San Andreas, was taken from the church.

In August 1852, a large San Andreas Nugget was found in a claim just north of where the town is located and was sold to the Wells Fargo company for $12,000. In 1859 over $500,000 in gold dust was shipped. The channels were producing gold, although lack of water hampered the efforts of the

miners until the miner’s ditches were completed.

Two infamous names from the Gold Rush often tied to San Andreas, are Black Bart and Joaquin Murieta. Handsome and debonair, Black Bart was a gentleman bandit who never harmed drivers or passengers and left bits of original verse behind signed “P08”. Black Bart held up the Milton-Sonora

San Andreas/Angels Camp stage at Funk Hill on November 3, 1883, leaving several articles behind in his hurried flight. One of which was a handkerchief with a laundry mark traced back to a San Francisco Laundry where the mark was identified as belonging to C.E. Bolton one of the city’s leading citizens. He was arrested and brought back to San Andreas where he confessed to the robbery.

His trial was held in the court room in San Andreas and he was

sentenced to six years in San Quentin Prison. The jail where he was held still stands and is a part of the Calaveras County Historical Museum Complex.

In 1866, the County Seat was moved to San Andreas from Mokelumne Hill and in 1869, a county hospital was moved to the Gold Hill house. Today, San Andreas is a progressive community with several organizations working to improve, promote and

enhance the climate and growth in the San Andreas area.

Sutter Creek

History of Sutter Creek

F

ounded in 1844 by Captain John Sutter, Sutter Creek played a starring role in California’s golden history. In 1845-46 the original settlers came in search of timber, not gold. With the discovery of gold in 1848

Sutter Creek became a destination for gold seekers from around the world.

The Wildman, Lincoln and Eureka Mines opened in the 1850’s. Homes and businesses sprang up along what is now

Highway 49. A number of fires destroyed wood frame buildings, but the brick and greenstone buildings remain to this day. As the mines prospered, so did the townsfolk. Large, stately homes sprang up along Spanish and

Sutter Creek Recreation Theatre The Sutter Creek Theatre has survived a turbulent history. In the 1860s a saloon and billiard parlor was located on the site. But repeated fires in 1862, 1865, 1868 and 1888 destroyed it.

Later the deadly Spanish Influenza delayed it’s opening in 1919.

Rumor has it that the

Theatre opened its doors on Wednesday, March 5, 1920, playing D. W. Griffiths’ Hearts of the World, starring Lillian Gish.

By the early 1930’s talkies had replaced the silent films, and for two decades the Theatre thrived. But in 1952 the Theatre closed, playing

Main Streets. Leland Stanford, founder of Stanford University, is one of Sutter Creek’s most famous former residents. With the closure of the mines in the 1940-50’s, Sutter Creek experienced a brief decline, but the beautiful architecture remains to this day.

Sutter Creek today is the legacy of the town’s first shopkeepers and business owners.

Victorians, New England style structures, and Greek Revival buildings line the streets where once there were horse drawn carriages. A stroll down Main Street reveals the old fashioned charm and friendliness of a bygone era.

dressing in period costumes for an old-fashioned photo.

Walk to the bank of the Sacramento River and step aboard a piece of floating history. In the early 1900s the Delta King, an authentic Mississippi-style riverboat, ferried passengers between San Francisco and Sacramento. After being sunk in San Francisco Bay for 18 months, the Delta King was brought back to Old Sacramento where it underwent extensive renovations and is now a beautifully restored unique hotel.

Visitors to Old Sacramento can delve deeper into America’s past with a visit to the California State Railroad Museum. The most comprehensive collection of trains and other related artifacts in North America, the museum

features 21 meticulously restored railroad cars and locomotives in addition to the $1 million toy train collection, the largest in North America. The Discovery Museum’s History Center offers yet another opportunity to learn about California history with special presentations on the Gold Rush, newspaper business and agriculture. The Huntington Hopkins Hardware Store and the Wells Fargo Museum tell other tales of California history.

Shopping and dining options in Old Sacramento are endless with some 125 shops and restaurants housed in beautifully restored Gold Rush era buildings.

Take a moment to step back in time and experience the history and charm of Old Sacramento.

patrick OLGUIN

city abundant in Gold Rush history, Sacramento pays homage to its past by inviting visitors to step back in time at the Old Sacramento Historic District. Characterized as the “Williamsburg of the West,” the 28-acre area has been federally recognized as a Historic Landmark. Visitors strolling through the district constructed in the mid 1800s are taken back in time to the California Gold Rush. Today, after strong preservation efforts, the nostalgic appeal of early California history is reflected perfectly by the horse-drawn carriages, wooden sidewalks and cobblestone streets.

You can experience history by taking a steam train ride, visiting a one-room schoolhouse, or
