Nevada City, the Queen of the Northern Mines, one of the friendliest, liveliest and most colorful of all California Gold Rush towns! Nevada City's award-winning historic district is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It is considered to be among the best-preserved towns of the West.

But Nevada City is more than a historical site to see. It is a vibrant, thriving community and entertainment capital of the Sierra Nevada foothills. Visitors enjoy fine restaurants and lodgings, live theatre, music, shopping, antiques, art galleries and museums.

Ringed by deep green hillsides and bordering the Tahoe National Forest, Nevada City is located just minutes from sparkling Sierra lakes and rivers and forested trail systems perfect for hiking and biking.
