Original Gold Rush Colony Tour

The Gold Rush Colony Tour may be taken as a self-guided walk or you may join in with one of the Daily Guided Tours for a fun and educational session of about one hour. Take a virtual tour by following the links to the right. Each building or display is numbered in an order that, when followed, leads you sequentially to all the points along the main tour route. Follow the numbers as if you are walking the walk and listening to the tour guide, to find out what life was like during the 1850s in a typical gold rush village. You can of course jump from point to point and explore your areas of interest. Come and visit soon as the web offers only a pale comparison of the real experience to be had at this award-winning South Coast tourism attraction.
