Auburn
Situated along the historic old miner’s trail that is now Highway 49 sits picturesque Auburn, California. With a similar history to the neighboring towns of Grass Valley and Coloma, Auburn was once a large gold rush settlement full of prospectors seeking their fortunes in the Sierra foothills. It has since become a haven for the artistic and a permanent destination for the adventurous.
What began as a Native American village of the Nisenan band (of the Maidu tribe) morphed into a tent city of miners during the Gold Rush of 1849. Men and women would camp along the Auburn Ravine as they mined for those elusive gold nuggets. Auburn was known as “North Forks Dry Diggings”. Many stopped at North Forks as they made their way to nearby Coloma, the hub of the California Gold Rush. In 1865 Auburn became part of another historical revolution, the building of the first Transcontinental Railroad.
