Discover historic Placerville in northern California
The county seat of California's El Dorado County, Placerville offers the ideal setting between the big city attractions of Sacramento and the vast open spaces of the Sierra Nevada. A vacation here doesn't mean always having to explore elsewhere, though. This tiny town is home to an array of historic highlights, not least the site of the Pony Express and Plumado House, an 1860 home partly crafted from hand-carved lava. Throw a handful of museums and wineries into the mix and there's little wonder why so many travelers opt for a stay in a Placerville vacation rental.
Explore historic downtown Placerville
If you've nabbed a Placerville vacation rental in the city's 19th-century downtown district, you'll find an array of cultural attractions on your doorstep. A self-guided walking tour of historic Main Street can be a great way to get a feel for the area, taking in sights such as the oldest hardware store west of Mississippi and the former Empire Theater, now home to a store filled to bursting with antique delights. Along the way, browse for souvenirs at the unique specialty stores or time your visit to coincide with the popular Bell Tower Brewfest, held annually in June.
Visit museums and wineries in Placerville
Hungry for more history? Listed on the National Register of Historic Places and located inside an original soda works dating to 1852, the Fountain-Tallman Museum features a fascinating collection of exhibits dedicated to early Placerville. And when it's time to dial things down, there's no better place to enjoy a little downtime than at one of the area's wineries and historic vineyards. You'll find Fenton Herriott Vineyards and Chateau Davell Winery are within a few minutes' drive of most Placerville vacation rentals. Apart from major holidays, these tasting rooms serve up the good stuff daily.
Placerville is a 4-season hotspot
If you're planning a summer vacation during July and August, you can expect the temperatures in Placerville to soar into the 90s. June and September aren't that much different, so if you prefer things a little less sweltering, the somewhat cooler March, April, and October are probably a good bet. Even in winter, it rarely gets unbearably cold in these parts, although rainy days are all but guaranteed. In fact, it's the winter months of December through February that draw the crowds keen to strap on their skis and take to the powdery slopes of the nearby mountains.
Discover parks and wilderness areas near Placerville
Placerville may be small as cities go but it's not short of a glorious green space. Gold Bug Park offers 2 miles of hiking trails amid its more than 60 acres. In the spring, you'll find the park carpeted with wildflowers, although any time of year presents travelers with the opportunity to explore the historic Gold Bug Mine. Those who prefer their green spaces a little more rustic can head to the Sierra Nevada to the east of the city. With 3 national parks, 20 wilderness areas, and attractions such as Lake Tahoe, nature enthusiasts will be in their element.
