Jackson: Historic town in the Gold Country. There's gold in them thar hills! Jackson was founded in 1848 alongside a spring. The population, spurred on by placer mining, quickly grew. However, unlike many old west towns that collapsed after the easy gold mining had played out, Jackson continued to grow and prosper. Its location between Sacramento and the mining camps to the south, plus the abundance of water and cattle grazing land helped it to become a permanent town. Although much of it was destroyed by a fire in 1862, many of the buildings in old town today date from just after the fire. The famous Kennedy Gold Mine, in operation from 1860 to 1942 was the deepest gold mine in north America. The exterior is open today for visitors, along with several other mines in the general area. The Kennedy Tailing Wheels is a unique attraction that showcases a century-old engineering marvel set in a pleasant park. Many downtown buildings are on the National Register of Historic Places.

Jackson is a pleasant historic town to visit :-) Firehouse Museum - Nevada City - Reviews of Firehouse Museum.

State Historic Park Empire Mine State Historic Park is the site of one of the oldest, largest, deepest, longest and richest gold mines in California. The park is in Grass Valley at 10791 East Empire Street. In existence for more than 100 years, the mine produced 5.6 million ounces of gold before it closed in 1956. (5.6 million ounces of gold is equivalent to a box seven feet long, seven feet high, and seven feet deep filled with gold.) The park contains many of the mine’s buildings, the owner’s home and restored gardens, as well as the entrance to 367 miles (the distance, as the crow flies, from Grass Valley to Magic Mountain) of abandoned and flooded mine shafts. The park consists of forested backcountry and eight miles of trails - including easy hikes (for hiking, mountain biking and horseback riding) - in the park.
