Golden Days of Placerville

About 45 miles to the east from Sacramento, California is a friendly town of Placerville, a historic building of the United States' major 'Gold Rush'. In the early days of this small gold mining emerging city, Placerville was known as "Hangtown." When you enter the city you will see the Flagsville logo, below which the nickname "Old Cape Town" will appear. There are noises everywhere in the town, police cars, even the fire department and Placerville City Seal on historic buildings.

Since 1848, the influx of miners who came to work to become miners in the Placerville region caused waves of crime. California has just moved from the Mexican government to the United States in its early days. Law and order are mainly reserved for individual counties in just a few years. The plundering of Placerville is responsible for the violent bad apples of many miners, plundering miners and other criminals.

After a long day learning about the history of the wine culture of El Dorado, we went to Placerville and participated in an independent matching dinner. Last time I had dinner in town but I was very happy that I could experience the combination of chef Ryan Montgomery and local warm fresh ingredients. The Independent, jointly owned by the facilities son Jeff, Judy Thomas and Ben Carter, is the second company in Placerville. Now acclaimed Heyday Café is located in Placerville's Old Town. I enjoyed a delicious lunch and opened The Independent in a spacious outdoor space that focused on fresh, creative American fusion.

In addition to enjoying cool fun, there is also a mini museum in the history of Placerville. From Hangman's tree ice cream saloon website you can see historical items on the wall of the gold rush day and interesting artifacts for customers to read carefully. Herrick's building starts from the original town Dry Diggins and is in a large corner with a history of other uses. At the beginning of the gold rush era, the land was used as a mountain of animal hay at the western end of the main street. It was used soon for another purpose, which is why the two buildings were trapped.
