Unearth Hidden Treasures and Secret Trails on California’s Gold Country Road Trip — Your Ultimate Adventure Awaits!
Best Things to Do in Placer County
History Crash Course at Placer County Museum
On the first floor of Auburn’s beautiful courthouse, this museum offers a great overview of the county, with Native American artifacts, a clear bank vault with an impressive gold collection, a 19th-century Sheriff’s office with original “Wanted” signs for bandits, and more. Don’t be shy and talk to the volunteer guides; they are so friendly and knowledgeable!
Wander Old Town Auburn
With its hilly topography to its eclectic architecture, this might be the most charming town in Gold Country. Wander under the covered wooden walkways and stairwells, admire the cute red-striped firehouse, take a statue selfie with miner Claude Chana, who put Auburn on the map, get outfitted like a true cowboy at the Used Saddle Connection, and see the artists at work at the Metal Arts Academy or even sign up for a class!
