While
I was visiting Yosemite, I was told about Columbia State Historic
Park. It is a California state park, but it's also a real operating
town with restaurants, hotels, saloons, a theater, and other establishments.
Since I love such historical sites and being immersed in the past,
I couldn't pass up a day trip here to stroll down the brick and
board streets.

The
Gold Rush Days of the 1850's still linger here and are recreated
on the 2nd Saturday of each month. Even when that's not happening,
it's still possible to get lost in the spirit of this special old
town.

The
sounds of horses hooves are the only transportation sounds you'll
hear on the streets of Columbia.

Horseshoes,
anyone? Get them here and watch the blacksmith make them to order.

The
Wells Fargo office, the bank vault and authentic furnishings all
lend to the illusion of stepping back in time.

| The old Columbia Cemetery has its own stories to tell. Poor Jacob Giddis was only 28 years old when he was "Murdered on or about the 28th day of June, 1861." | ||||||
