We took a drive to historic Jackson here in the Sierra Foothills. The town has a lot of charm. I decided that for today I would share some photos of things that I captured that day. Ready to see bits of Jackson? Let’s go!
Let’s begin with an old photo. There is a union sign and an agency sign out front along with four dashing fellows of the day…
Here is a view of one of the storefronts. The building needs a bit of work…
Walking along the sidewalks, I discover that the hardware store used to be in this location. It is another business now, but the pavement still shows what was once here.
Shortly after this we came upon a rather funny historical marker.
In the entryway to one building, I discover a really bad tile job!
One final shot, this of the Jackson Hotel! Here you can not only rent a room for the night but enjoy a juicy steak at Stanley’s!
Well, thanks for stopping by! Have a great Saturday! Be well… ^..^
I just love this town and Sutter Creek! Great photos and historical perspective!
Sutter, Martel and Jackson are all together and all interesting! 🙂 Did you like the historical plaque?
Yes! and I have not forgotten about us getting together to eat lunch in Old Sac (and take pics!). We’ll be in touch!!
Sounds good to me. It may be a while as I have another chemo treatment coming up…
Oh, goodness. I must have missed that! You let me know when you are ready!
Will do! Be well my friend!
Great place. Thanks for sharing
Didn’t love the historical plaque? 🙂
I agree with that one!
It was fun that someone, at some time in history, had a sense of humor!
Thanks for sharing some views of Jackson, CA. It was an important town during the gold rush, yet like many towns along California’s Highway 49 its importance dwindled with time – but they are still fun to visit for so many reasons.
YW PJ! They are fun places to visit!
Love posts like this Barb and love history, especially about towns!
🙂 Thanks Joanne! I like sharing my neck of the woods with the world!
Nevermind, I just now read, Jackson, California.
Wonderful! Is this Jackson, Wyoming?
🙂
Interesting year on the bottom of the historical marker May 11, 5979?
It really was Anno Dumbellicus.
Yup, and the year of the dumbbell!
