Much of California's history is inextricably tied to the region that lies between the San Francisco Bay Area and the Sierra Foothills. Gold Country takes its name from the famous historical period that kicked off in 1848 with a Coloma carpenter's discovery of gold flakes in the American River. 今天, this thriving collection of river cities and towns offers visitors insight into the past as well as a delicious taste of the present.
On this episode of the California Now 播客, host Soterios Johnson uncovers some of the best attractions Gold Country has to offer, starting with a quick history lesson from 萨克拉门托 City Historian Marcia Eymann. She talks about the thriving Native American communities of the pre-Gold Rush era, and continues on to discuss the 萨克拉门托 of today, a port city known as America’s Farm-to-Fork Capital.
Johnson next speaks with travel 博客ger Preethi Chandrasekhar to get a first-time visitor's perspective of the region. Chandrasekhar immersed herself in Gold Country, visiting historic hotels, unique 购物 destinations, and unforgettable outdoor spaces. 最后, Johnson connects with travel insider Nick Leonti, who offers up an impressive rundown of good eats—including craft beer and craft cider— that dot 萨克拉门托 and surrounding towns.
