Tuolumne County is the original homeland territory of the Me-Wuk Indians. Sonora, the Tuolumne County seat, still evidences vestiges of the gamblers, outlaws, miners and painted ladies who made the town their home in her frontier hey day. The other towns within the county are similarly rich in history; Jamestown, where you can see steam trains and ride along with ghosts of past movies filmed here; Columbia, a former Gold camp where visitors can see the Columbia State Historic Park with its perfectly restored 1850-1870 appearance (for free), ride the Wells Fargo Stage Coach, or have a sarsaparilla at one of the authentic saloons; and Groveland, one of the county's earliest towns located on Hwy. 120, the northern gateway to Yosemite, of whose many historic buildings are still in use today.
