Step back in time and experience Coloma as it was during the height of the Gold Rush! Spend the day immersed in 1850s life as our historic park transforms into a bustling mining town.

Register your claim at the Assay & Claims Office, stock up on supplies at the General Store, and secure a meal and lodging at the Boarding House. Just in from the mines? Freshen up at the Barber & Bath House, collect a clean shirt from the Laundry, and head over to the Saloon to swap stories of your latest strike.

Enjoy a lively fundraiser BBQ, old-fashioned candy shop, fresh baked goods, and period goods from local vendors. Take a wagon ride, try your hand at candle making, play traditional games, enjoy puppet shows, and capture the moment with a vintage tin-type photograph.

Bring the whole family for a day of history, hands-on activities, and Gold Rush fun — all while supporting our community through this special fundraising event.
