So much of the history of Apple Hill has been preserved. The community has gone to tremendous effort to protect their history and offer the public an opportunity to step back in time, if only for a day. Plan a picnic on the lush land that surrounds these exciting farms. Their doors are opened and the growers have gone the extra mile to ensure your family a day that they will remember.
Gold Bug Park is now owned and operated by the City of Placerville. The City of Placerville is the only municipality in the state of California to own a gold mine. Today, you can step back in time to the mid 1800’s and experience what it was like to be a miner in the gold rush era.
With its historical landmarks, downtown ambiance with a plethora of shopping and dining experiences, various hotel/motel and bed/breakfast accommodations, local wineries and farms, and an abundance of local recreational activities, Placerville has something for everyone.
