Step Into 1850s Gold Rush California at Columbia! 🤠
📍 Columbia State Historic Park A perfectly preserved Gold Rush town in Northern California—walk in and time-travel to the 1800s! Small but mighty immersive: 🏛️ Original buildings still standing: real bank, theater, post office, saloon—no Disney-fied replicas! 🐴 Stagecoach Ride $17/adult (buy on-site), 15-minute ride with bandit ambush surprises! Clip-clopping through dirt streets = pure Wild West vibes. 🍽️ Lunch at Columbia City Hotel Restaurant & What Cheer Saloon Straight out of a Western movie—antique decor, copper lamps, wooden shutters. Ate hearty sandwiches like a gold miner on break. 🍬 Columbia Candy Kitchen = Must-Visit! Staff in period costumes hand-dip chocolates 🍫—silky smooth and made fresh daily (peek the kitchen!). 🕯️ Seven Sisters Soap & Candle Co. Hand-poured candles with old-world scents (think lavender + leather). Open-air museum vibes—no entry fee! Wander freely and soak up Gold Rush life. #ColumbiaStatePark #NorCal #GoldRush #CaliforniaHistory #HiddenGem #TimeTravel
