Visit Jamestown, California

Jamestown is located on the Highway 108/49 corridor and is the first town you encounter when entering Tuolumne County from the west. It’s the spot where gold was first discovered in the County. Several of the town’s buildings that date back to the 1870s and 1880s are occupied by quaint historic inns, restaurants, shops, a cigar bar and even wine tasting rooms of local vineyards. Jamestown is home to 1 of Tuolumne County's 2 California State Parks, Railtown 1897 State Historic Park.

Don't miss these great Jamestown activities:

1. Dine and stay the night in a historic inn.
2. Ride the rails with the “movie star locomotive,” the Sierra #3™ to a bygone era and take a tour of one of the few remaining working railroad roundhouses in America at Railtown 1897 State Historic Park.
