 This first time I laid my eyes on Placerville I fell in love with this old historic mining town. I am not sure if its because of its pristine beauty being that it resides in the middle of the ElDorado National Forest, History or the local culture perhaps it is all three of them! At one time in my life in 2008 I was homeless up in Jackson California and their were times id drive up here no money to  to my name just to get away so I could enjoy this bustling little town up in the sierra foothills above the Sacramento Valley. The town had many names first being Dry Diggins then Hangtown and eventually Placerville which has stuck for 150 years at least!

While most folks drink at the saloons today, visit antique shops, enjoy fine dining and local culture very few are aware of the towns darker history. Placerville started off like any gold rush town as a mining camp. While some camps went bust Placerville survived when the gold ran dry as a matter in fact most mining towns went from milling and mining to relying on tourism, lumbering and its local vineyards. Placerville begin as a mining camp which today is part of the old Gold Bug Mining Park and has at least 100 years of mining history. The mining park is originally where the workings of this town begin then it eventually grew to a small city. More or less when you visit Placerville it is like stepping into a time machine you almost feel like your still in the middle of the gold rush especially when you visit Big Canyon Creek where gold was first discovered here.  

It all started in Coloma California where the first discovery of gold was made by a James W. Marshal in 1848 which led to the gold rush. It brought in thousands of pioneers who were looking to strike it rich. Once the discovery was made many of those pioneers and miners spread their wings in search of gold in the region. One of those locations was the Big Canyon area which is not to far from downtown Placerville today. The canyon was the location of the first big gold camp after the discovery made in nearby Coloma thus making it one of the oldest mining camps in the west. While at the time mining was transpiring in Big Canyon Creek many ranches sprung up in Sly Valley and Apple Hill which were built to feed the miners and growing population of this camp.

In 1848 the Natives had carried word along the forks of the American River that a new find was yielding $96 per man per day or in the case of Big Canyon Creek 17k in one week. So allot of the pioneers traversed the river and its tributaries that is when tents and log cabins sprung up in Big Canyon then eventually wooden board structures with shingle roofs. The post office came to the area in 1850 it probably was one of the earliest post offices in the state of California.  See big canyon creek became a place where early miners gathered to mine for its Placer Gold by moving cartloads of soil sifting through it for its gold. Allot of the gold nuggets and flakes would flow off of the mountains into the river. It would be carried downstream ending up in smaller creeks where it would settle awaiting to be discovered. So when the miners came to Big Canyon all they merely had to do was pan for the gold here it was easy pickings at the time and word had gotten out fast.  You could take a cart of soil in the gulch sift through it and you were almost guaranteed to make some kind of profit at the time.

When the gold became more scarce prospectors moved onto to other mining camps while others may have stuck around to perform more intensive mining using placering and sluicing. Later on tunneling was performed within the canyons walls in hopes of finding gold veins. As a matter in fact miners in the 1930's still worked this creek even if you thought all the gold was gone during the Spring the water was flowing thus new gold was always being washed into the creek. I do allot of hiking myself along creeks and rivers in the sierras today their is still plenty of gold up in those mountains. Panning is still a common practice up in gold country I have had quite a few friends try a hand in mining surrounding the Placerville area. When gold was discovered here dry diggins revealed in a matter of one week $17,000 in the gulch which is where today's gold bug mining park resides. So when you think of Placerville think about how grand it would have been in the 1800's to haul out that much gold and why this camp grew to the size it did. Back then gold was worth allot less but in today's times easily it would have been worth five times more.

Not only did gold bring in miners during the gold rush but it also brought in allot of crime and greedy men who would do anything to obtain the gold in this canyon. In 1849 the first crime transpired at this camp when three men guns blazing robbing the town and attempting to murder its residents during that very winter. The men were caught and most of the locals were shouting that they needed to be hung. The law prevailed walking the men out to a tree on Main Street and lynched them the first of its kind that took place within the Mother Lode. After that people begin to call this place "Hangtown" which scared away criminals for the time being here.  I read that three other hangings would take place after the first lynching's of these criminals occurred but really their is no record as to how many were hung from the tree on Main Street. I read a total of six men were hung in Hangtown and another source told me at least a thousand. Due to the place being called Hangtown it developed a reputation and lets face it people embellished a little bit after the first hangings occurred here. Today where the oak once stood is a saloon which has a dummy hanging from a rope out front from the second story. I heard that the stump of that oak tree is said to be in the cellar of the this building cannot verify it but its a local rumor.

When 1850 had rolled around the local churched and temperance league were making request to have the name of the town changed something perhaps that was more friendly. Hangtown was not very appealing to county officials therefore by 1854 the town would be renamed to Placerville which has held the county seat since 1857 after it was moved from Coloma and today still remains. At the time Placerville was the third largest town in the state of California. It was a central hub for the Mother Lode's regional mining operations. The town offered everything hotels, banks, general stores, churches and even was a transportation hub for people and goods. It had its fair share of Stage Lines which ran to the Comstock Lode of Virginia City Nevada but it also was an important stop on the Pony Express. Not allot of people are aware of this but the Southern Pacific Railroad once had a branch line that extended from Sacramento to Placerville. The track was abandoned in the 1980's hell back then I was just a boy but you could get on the train take it up to the city then board other trains that would take you just about anywhere in the country. Their also was a second shortline railroad in the area which ran from Camino to Placerville California up until 1986. That line was called the Camino, Placerville and Lake Tahoe Railroad. Since then the tracks and trains are long gone but I read that out of the 52 miles of rail bed in the region 18 miles of it is being restored for a scenic historic train tour thanks to the city of Folsom California. Folsom Lake also turned into a mining town along American River at a location called Mormon Island and just upstream from this boom town was also Salmon Falls which was discovered around the same time period.  If you combined the population it was well over 6k that flockied to this region some however simply folowed the gold upstream discovering places that became towns like Placerville.

In 1860 hard rock mining begin in the area and miners were staking various claims so that they could dig their own drifts following gold veins into the sides of the hills. Allot of the miners had realized that most of the gold washed down into the creek from erosion where the veins were present which was along the sides of the hills, cliffs and gulch of this canyon. Maybe at one time you could pluck gold from the stream here but in reality that mining was short lived if you really wanted to make a decent profit you had to mine quartz veins where the gold was more abundant. In this case the canyon had four major mines the Gold Bug Mine is what your mainly going to see, experience and learn about on our website. The other mines have been barred or sealed off to keep people like me out of there sad to say! But at one time they were operable mines and most of the ore would be brought to the Hendy Mill which BTW still resides in Big Canyon Creek where ore was processed. The ore carts would move the gold ore on various tracks in the canyon where it would be ran through a crusher to extract the gold. The processing that took place here started off using Mercury which was not only poisonous to the miners but most of them lost their hearing within a short time due to the large stamps that would crush the ore. Lets just say processing gold in a stamp mill was so loud that all of Placerville heard the stamps around the clock. Old City Cemetery up on the hill above Placerville boast many of the early pioneers who lost their lives in Placerville while mining or to other tragedies.

The Joshua Hendy Stamp Mill had a black smith and was built on the original mill site and you can actually tour it. They have a full working scale model that demonstrates ore reduction and how it was processed. The mill is a replica of Joshua Hendy Ironworks of Sunnyvale, Ca. Some of you may have seen at various ghost towns Hendy's large iron machinery or stamp machines found at various mills. I know on my journeys I have seen the Hendy name on more then one occasion. Who was Hendy? He was a prominent iron worker in the San Francisco Bay area. What is most known for is creating iron balcony railings and street lamp fixtures. When the earthquake of 1906 had hit the bay area he moved his business to Sunnyvale and today his factor still remains. Hendy Iron Works was purchased by Westinghouse Electric Corporation in 1947.  However the original stamp mill found in Big Canyon Creek area was built around 1900 so that it could locally process the gold ore being brought out of the mines here. The mill was rebuilt in the 1930's more or less it had two sets of four stamps and if the gold was not pure enough after it being processed here it was often sent to San Francisco.

From about the 1880's all the way up until around WWII mining did transpire in Big Canyon Creek which today is the Gold Bug Mining Park containing 60 acres of early gold rush history. While Placer mining ceased their were some well known tunnel mines found in the canyon four well known mines. In 1888 the Hattie Mine opened up which was operated by a John Dench and William Craddock. It was named Hattie after Craddock's oldest daughter and when it was depleted they begin a new drift eventually selling the mine. Then in 1924 a John McKay had taken over the Hattie Mine laying out tracks for ore cars where it could be brought up to the Hendy Mill just a short distance away. The mine built an air shaft that connected to the Priest Mine above it because the air quality here was very poor therefore it would take a day or two for work to resume. Only a few men could work in these mines at a time not only was it a very confined tunnel but anymore miners would have attributed to loss of oxygen. They called this the Gold Bug Mine it had many owners and nobody knows how much gold was extracted from it as in 1942 the mine was considered non-essential by order of the president so that men could be drafted for the war. The Gold Bug more or less was a side job for many miners nobody was getting rich from mining it but it kept these men's dreams alive that someday they might.  Its easy to envision a few miners down here working away inside the tunnel with shovels, picks and some TNT black powder while maybe drinking some moonshine during their breaks.

The Priest Mine was one of the earliest hard rock mines built in the 1850's in the canyon all hand dug with pix axes. This mine may have been named the Priest Mine because their was a miner who provided Sunday services for the miners in the area. I heard their is a room in the mine that may have had an altar and some seating for church goers. The mine is rather unique its sandstone walls are arch shaped unlike the Gold Bug Mine which has irregular shaped ceilings and walls. Although their is no record of it the mine was said to have been constructed by Welsh Miners and that Roman Catholic Services were held every Sunday by a Priest. The mine sits directly above the Gold Bug Mine however they both differ in quite a few ways.


One of the last mining claims was held by a William Meagher who was the owner of Independent Iron Works in Oakland California. He actually had purchased a claim here however in order for him to keep his title he had to work these miners regularly at least a half of the year here. He always brought his family to the canyon and they would live in a homestead which had a wrap around porch. While he worked in the mines hid family would swim behind the dam that he created on Big Canyon Creek. Sometimes his kids would hike around the canyon chasing nature or just playing outdoors. His summer cabin can still be seen at the end of the canyons road which we have some photos of on our site. The Park wants to turn the summer cabin into a nature center which would have information about the fauna, wildlife and flora in the region.

In reality you had The Priest, Hattie aka Gold Bug and Meagher Mines found within the canyon. I have not found the fourth one called the Silver Pine Mine  it is possible that its been sealed and forgotten or resides on the caretakers property. The Meagher Mine has bars on it today you cant enter it but it still can be seen along the road on in the Gold Bug Mining Park not to far from William Meagher's summer cabin. After WWII the BLM or rather Bureau Of Land Management took over this land as public property. In the 1960's the federal government under the Recreational Use Purposes Act leased the area to be deemed for recreational use. In 1965 Placerville received the lease with a promise that they would not sell, separate or use this canyon other then for recreational. Therefore the lease that lasted for 25 years was used rather to create a park. In 1980 Hangtown's Gold Bug Park Development Committee Inc. was formed which would be used to protect and clean up the property so outdoor enthusiast such as ourselves could enjoy it fully. In 1985 the park was approved to be listed in the National Register of Historic Places and the State Point Of Interest on the California Registry. Today the park is now owned by the City of Placerville the only municipality in the state of California to operate a gold mine. With that being said you can explore the mine and tour the museum or just hike the many trails found throughout this canyon.

Although today downtown Placervile is no longer found within this canyon the mining camp found here is where this city had been founded. I kind of stumbled upon Gold Bug Park accidentally you see I was hiking and offroading above it. My son and I we were doing some photography coming across the Priest Mine back in 2013. I did some research and found out that what we stumbled upon was the Gold Bug Mining Park or rather old Hangtown which today has grown into a large bustling city. The park is only found in the middle of Placerville but at one time this mining camp was one of the first to have been erected after gold was discovered in the region making it a very historical location. Not allot of people know this that is why I do the research and work that I do to help educate the public. This is true American West History some of the earliest your going to find so why not relish it and appreciate it for what it is. If your interested in visiting the museum or donating you can do so via Click Here: Hangtown Gold Bug Mining Park. I cant tell you if the park is haunted but what I can tell you is that over the years lives were lost due to milling, mining and even hangings. Where history exist so do Ghosts!
