The 4.5 acre townsite has a modern residence built from the original town post office and gold assayer's office. and gold-era buildings still dot the property. Official Provenance? The Granite & Bronze California Historical Landmark Monument sits at the entrance, dedicated in 1937. It was owned since the gold-rush days by the reclusive of a famous comedian (ask) who kept the property off-limits, so accurate internet photos of the place don't exist.
