Amador City - A Little California Gold Rush Town

These places along the journey, form a daisy chain of towns and communities steeped in rich mining and pioneer history.

I snapped the photos below in Amador City. Its stretch along Highway 49 is no more than a block or two long, but it is a fun place to stop, enjoy the scenery, while visiting quaint shops.

When I view old photographs from the 1860s to present day, I am amazed at how little change has come to the little community.  The major change is the paved road that now occupies what was once only dirt.

Amador City is named after Jose' Maria ... more
