Grass Valley

City
ABOUT

More than half of California's total gold production was extracted from mines around Grass Valley, including the Empire Mine, among the Gold Country's most fascinating attractions. The mine and the North Star Mining Museum, also worth a stop, are a few miles from the downtown historic district, which though walkable isn't as quaint as nearby Nevada City's.
