Very cool town set back in time to when the gold rush was huge. It has since then been turned into multiple casinos but also has really cool museums, roaming donkeys, shops and a theatre for plays. If you want to be sent back to the past or see the largest mining operation in North America (you can tour the facility as well) visit this cool little town.
