Columbia State Historic Park Details
To learn more about the Gold Rush that swept through the state of California, check out this living history museum in downtown Columbia. During the 1850s, gold was discovered in the nearby area, causing an influx of miners to travel through and even move to this area. At one point, almost 5,000 people lived in town. Unlike other living history museums, this one is a fully operating town with restaurants, shops, saloons, and candy stores. You can even take a stagecoach ride or have your photo taken in a daguerreotype photo studio. It's fascinating to see the costumed actors and experience what daily life was like back during the Gold Rush era.
