From Sonora north to Jackson are some of Gold Country's most fabled towns. Step back in time in Sonora, amid early-California adobe structures and Victorian homes. Tour the Tuolumne County Museum, housed in Sonora's 1857 courthouse and jail, for its paintings and Western photographs. A favorite film location is nearby Columbia, preserved as a state historic park. Ride a stagecoach, sip a sarsaparilla, and pan for gold. Explore Hidden Mine, the state's only operating hard-rock mine, which is carved into a hill.
