Mariposa

Late Winter and Spring Events

in Mariposa County

W

inter downhill and cross-country skiing in Yosemite National Park often lasts well into spring. For those wishing milder mid-winter and early spring destinations, Highway 49 and 140 leads visitors into the Gold Country with the towns of Mariposa and Coulterville welcoming many visitors seeking our historic past.

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 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 event-oriented with many local spring and early summer activities. Beginning on Saturday, March 3, the Hornitos Patrons Club presents the 58th annual Enchilada Dinner at the Golden Stag Hall in Hornitos starting at 4PM and lasting until the last prospector is fed. Starting about March 6 and running for one month, A Fine Arts Exhibition sponsored by the Northern California Society of Arts in Miniature, will be under way at the Sierra Artists Gallery in Mariposa featuring Miniatures from around the world. This Gallery is located in the heart of the Historic District in downtown Mariposa.

On March 9, 10 and 11 the Mariposa County Arts Council presents the Nationally Acclaimed 20th Annual Storytelling Festival at the Mariposa County High School Auditorium on the 9th and 10th and in the Cliff Room at Yosemite Lodge on the 11th. Wellknown storytellers from many areas of the United States gather for three days of yarns, long, tall, short and funny. The Mariposa

Mariposa Symphony, also sponsored by the Mariposa County Arts Council, will have its first concert of the spring season on April 14, at the Mariposa High School Auditorium. That same weekend of April 14 and 15th, the Mariposa Mineral and Gem Show will be held at the Mariposa Fair Grounds in conjunction with the California State Mining and Mineral Museum. The show will feature vendors of fine mineral specimens, jewelry and lapidary arts as well as mineral exhibits, children’s activities, food booths, raffles, silent auctions and many surprises.

April comes to an end with the boom of cannon when the National Civil War Association sponsors a battlefield re-enactment on the 27th, 28th and 29th at the historic Long Ranch just west of Mariposa. This ranch was once part of Col. John C. Fremont’s 44,836 acre Mexican Land Grant, Las Mariposas. The rolling hills and valleys create a landscape reminiscent of the Virginia battlefields. Friday April 27 will be a special day for schools to participate with Saturday and Sunday reserved for the general public. The re-enactment grounds may be accessed by either private automobile or bus from the town of Mariposa and special transportation from Merced.

Those wishing to stay in Mariposa will be offered free transportation to and from the site on both Saturday

Fair Grounds on May 12 and 13. This two-day event features dancing, food, Native American Arts and Crafts. Saturday, May 19 will be the 22nd Annual Coulterville Coyote Howl at the County Park next to the Hotel Jeffrey. This is a family-oriented event with Howling contests for adults and children along with the food, crafts, raffles and evening dinner dance.

Coulterville is one of the most original unspoiled mining camps remaining in the Mother Lode.

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.

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 threestory hotel. Our late 26th President of the united States, Theodore roosevelt, stayed at the Jeffery Hotel in 1902.

Jamestown

the Colonel

C

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

in Jamestown

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

Calendar of Events

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.

he picturesque village of Murphys is known today for its many natural attractions including caverns for public viewing, a charming Main Street with friendly merchants and unique shops, spectacular wineries, art galleries, gold panning, and world class golf.

Daniel and John Murphy settled in the area in 1848. From a small tent, the Murphy brothers did some very shrewd trading and sold supplies at inflated prices, while using

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

Gold Country Adventures • Volume 2, Issue 1 2007

in 1952 the Theatre closed, playing Walt Disney’s “Bambi” as its last feature.

The SCT underwent its first renovation in the 1970s. The SCT underwent a second, and major, renovation from 2000-2003 and the current owners continue to upgrade and restore

the facilities. Today everyone benefits from modern sound, recording, lighting, heating and air conditioning, and other physical improvements.

The SCT is the only remaining original former silent-movie house in the region. it continues to host on-going events.

Sutter Creek stately homes sprang up along Spanish and 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.

Old Sacramento

Old Sacramento– A

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 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

from Sacramento Visitors’ Bureau

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.

Gold Country Adventures • Volume 2, Issue 1 2007

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.
