Attractions Gold Country and Nevada city |
The Gold Rush, as we know it, began in 1848 with James Marshall's discovery at Sutter's Sawmill. However, gold was discovered by the Indians in 1725 and again in1842. Neither of these earlier occurrences stirred much interest, but James Marshall's discovery forever changed the local area and brought thousands of people to the gold country to realize their dream. |
