Downieville, CA on Hwy 49 – A Most Unusual Historic Landmark!

From the brochures outside the closed visitor center, we found out information on Downieville that was fascinating. Back in the 1850s, it missed becoming the state capital by one vote! We also found out that the infamous Gallows of Downieville are located adjacent to the Sierra County Courthouse. The area around there was kind of steep, so Sar stayed near the car while Neek and I checked it out.

Cool place. We drove through there last year to get to Reno when 80 was closed. Thought about going back and exploring for a couple days.
