Hungry for more history?

Activities
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.
Weather
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.
