Unearth Hidden Treasures and Secret Trails on California’s Gold Country Road Trip — Your Ultimate Adventure Awaits!
Shop Old Town Placerville

The first big town and transit hub to spring up from the gold strike of Sutter’s Mill, Placerville is still the county seat. Historically called Hangtown for its swift and severe sentences for those who broke the law, it’s come to be a friendly and artsy town! Nineteenth-century buildings now have nicely curated boutiques and galleries like Brass and Oak Home, Empire Antiques, Panic & Swoon, and Creekside Studio. The Placerville Hardware Store will thankfully never change…it’s the oldest hardware store west of the Mississippi, with library ladders to reach the wooden drawers filled with every nut and bolt imaginable.
