Columbia, California

Tuolumne County · Population 2,297 · Card no. 6941

A Gold Rush town preserved whole as a state park, with a main street of brick buildings and working businesses.

It was called the gem of the southern mines and produced enormous quantities of gold.
Stagecoaches still run for visitors on the main street.
The town narrowly lost a bid to be state capital.
