Wander through Gold Rush-era downtown where historic buildings now house shops selling everything from antique mining tools to artisanal sourdough. Columbia State Historic Park lets you pan for gold alongside costumed docents who stay remarkably cheerful despite wearing wool in summer heat. The Sierra Repertory Theater stages productions in a converted bank where the vault now stores props instead of bullion. Veterans Memorial Hall displays military artifacts with small-town pride. Take a vintage steam train ride through Sierra foothills on tracks that once transported fortune-seekers. Nearby Yosemite attracts the crowds, leaving Sonora's New Melones Lake blissfully uncrowded for fishing and boating.
