Placerville
Serving as a "hub" for many nearby destinations and activities, Placerville is well situated. Premier wineries, Apple Hill Ranches, Historic Coloma, the American River, and the El Dorado National Forest are all located within minutes of downtown Placerville.

The history of Placerville began with the "rush for gold" to California in the 1840’s. The highly publicized discovery of gold in the tailrace section at Sutter’s Mill in Coloma (only 10 miles from Placerville) in 1848 resulted in the migration of thousands of fortune-seekers to Northern California in the mid 1800’s. The town of Placerville was named after the placer deposits found in the river bed between Spanish Ravine and the town plaza. During the gold rush, Placerville became an important supply center for the surrounding mining camps.

Placerville was also known as "Hangtown" in it's early days. Although many stories exist on how this name was acquired, the most famous story involved a colorful event that occurred in January of 1849. A gambler named Lopez gained a lot of attention for his big winnings at a local saloon. After he retired for the evening, several men tried to overpower him. Lopez fought back, and with the help of others, the robbers were captured. During their "flogging", three of the robbers were also accused of being wanted for a murder and robbery that occurred at a gold camp on the Stanislaus River.

Gold Bug Park
The main feature of the park is the GOLD BUG MINE, originally the Hattie, opened by William Craddock and John Dench in 1888. The mine exemplifies a typical neighborhood hard rock mine of the Mother Lode. Sold in 1926, to John McKay, the name was changed to the Gold Bug Mine. The 352 foot drift has wood flooring and lighting to accommodate the public. The air shaft at the back of the mine provides clean, cool air at a temperature of 52-57 degrees. Hard hats are provided.

Apple Hill
Apple Hill is lush orchards and productive vineyards, all with their individual reasons to visit. Breathe in the delicious aromas wafting from bakeshops and sense the country smells of forest and earth. Hear children laughing as they enjoy crispy apples, buttery turnovers or a slice of famous "Apple Hill cake". This is a farm experience. You can see apple cider being made, pick your own apples or pumpkins, find the perfect Christmas tree, choose local crafts, or just relax under a favorite apple tree in one of the many picnic sites on the "Hill".
