Overland Emigrant Trail
California State Historic Landmark 799
04/15/96
#799 Overland Emigrant Trail
At this point the old overland emigrant trail approaches the present highway. More than 100 years ago the trail resounded to the creaking wheels of pioneer wagons and the cry of hardy but footsore travelers buoyed by the realization their long trip to the goldfields was about over.
Nothing remains of this site.
SE side of Wolf Creek Bridge, State Hwy 49 (PM 3.61), 10 mi S of Grass Valley.
Return to other landmarks in Nevada county.
Please note: I have no connection to any organizations mentioned on this site.
