placer county courthouse印象

This is a beautiful courthouse from the 1800's with an interesting collection of California Indian artifacts and a great display of gold nuggets. It is easy to spend an hour here, Also a nice 10 minute film of the historic Lincoln Highway which went through the area. Auburn is a charming town and a nice place to spend a day.

This historical building is worth a visit. It is beautifully sited on a knoll within walking distance of Downtown. Beautifully preserved. Small museum inside as well.

On the Ground Floor of the Historic Courthouse is a local museum. Presenting subjects from Native Americans, Fossils, Communication, Gold Rush, to historical Highway 40 it covers a lot of ground in a small space. There's a restored Sheriff's Office down the hall and on old Woman's Jail Cell under the stairs outside. Lots of info in a small space It's free. Upstairs is a working Court House, so be prepared to pass through a metal detector to enter, leave your knives in the car.

One of the 4 remaining domed courthouses in California! Picturesque with a small museum inside. See the gold nuggets on display.

This is a really picturesque building near old town Auburn. The bottom floor is museum; gold rush stuff plus Indian artifacts.

Awesome museum about California and the gold rush. Spent an hour there. Farmer's market is across the street.

Style and interesting history. Old jail use to be next door, but was torn down and built elsewhere. Reall close to Old Auburn, so convenient to visit.

Did you know there's a fossil bearing cave in the American River Canyon. Have you ever stood at the edge of a Native American Village in pre-Goldrush times. Have you ever seen a Gold Nugget Collection, or heard the story of Highway 40, The Lincoln Highway. How about peering into an under the stairs Woman's jail cell. If you haven't done those things then you probably haven't been to The Placer County Museum on the ground floor of the Historic Courthouse. Plenty of parking in the free lot, and a metal detector for entry because it's a working courthouse upstairs. It's even the base of the Old Town Walking tour every Saturday at 10am.Worth a stop, just head to the big building on the hill..

Pick a Saturday morning that's brisk and not too hot and go to the courthouse just before 10:00 for a great tour of old Auburn. It's free but allow yourself about two hours. You'll see so much history and when the tour is over, there are several good places to stop for lunch. Our favorite is Awful Annies.

Take a look at what the Gold Rush money bought back in the day. This is a lovely bit of architecture. Bring your camera. Its totally a place worth a pic.
