Marshall Gold Discovery State Historic Park is a state park of California, United States, marking the discovery of gold by James W. Marshall at Sutter's Mill in 1848, sparking the California Gold Rush.
Delightful museum, well staffed and free parking. Easy walk to the blacksmith place where the two fellows working were willing to explain to our grandsons how they made various items out of wrought iron and the history of the place. Then we went to see...MoreWe are so glad to hear you enjoyed your visit to Marshall Gold Discovery SHP.

This is such a great park and museum! They also have tours that you can go on and learn more about the park. I didn't go on the tour because I didn't have time, but they are reasonably priced and have a lot to offer. I had my dogs with me and it was such a nice walk, we sure enjoyed it. I also visited the gift shop and bought some gold panning equipment. The store is so cute and has such great selection of historical and educational items. The woman at the register was so nice and helpful. She had suggestions on where to go and was a wealth of information. I would love to come here again and take the tour.

The Harris Center is an incredible facility! The design, acoustics, and staff are amazing. Parking is easy and plentiful. Having attended musicals, plays, and concerts, the facility and performances are top tier.

Wonderful , like a very special escape. Reach back in time when things were slower and more peaceful. View California as it might have been during the Gold Rush! Afterward visit the many local wineries or Old Town Placerville for the antiques.
This railroad is sponsored by the local museum. Fare is $5.00 for people above nine years of age and $3 for those younger. It is run by volunteers who really understand the history of railroading in El Dorado County!
A track car is a small vehicle that used to shuttle track crews to their job sites. It is completely open on two side and wonderful breezes prevail!
Try taking the road less traveled!

If you've been here in the past, I suggest you make a reservation to get the seat you want. Because most of the theaters now have recliner seating, there aren't as many seats available, so seating fills quickly. But, we love watching movie from those comfortable recliners.

We played at Cold Springs Golf Its an 18 hole golf course close to Folsom and Placerville. It began as a 9 hole golf course in 1961. In 1978 Bert Stamps designed the second nine holes to make it an 18 hole course.

We did the half day / gorge trip. Thank you JC for guiding us so expertly down the river. First time our 13 and 11 year old have rafted and it was a great experience. We were apprehensive about going so early in the season but we got a beautiful sunny day and are so glad we went. The wetsuits and jackets kept us warm. JC was the perfect guide for us , we felt really safe in her hands, while having an absolute blast!

The beautiful American River is the site of California's 1849 Gold rush and now is the most popular whitewater rafting river in the Western US... let us show you why! One of the few rivers in California to have adequate water flows year round for rafting, The South Fork of the American River is a wonderfully fun guided rafting adventure for first timers, families and groups. The class 3 rapids are perfect for all types of participants, lots of action but not too intense for novices. Half, one and two day trips are available.
Beyond Limits provided my group of friends with an amazing and unforgettable rafting trip! We were so impressed with their customer service, guiding experience, professionalism, and friendliness. The camp site was also very clean and the food was great! The go pro videos were a wonderful bonus that we were able to purchase and take home to share. Thank you Beyond Limits for the great weekend getaway!
