Angels Camp (California Historical Landmark No. 287)

Landmark 287 in Calaveras County. What a place! Scenic, history, theater, etc! I've visited Angels Camp a number of times since 2018, and I never get tired of it. It is one of my favorite cities! I recommend visiting whenever you have the chance! It's definitely worth it!

The historic marker reads: Angels Camp Home of the Jumping Frog Romance - Gold - History Founded in 1849 by George Angel, who established a mining camp and trading store 200 feet below this marker. A rich gravel mining area and one of the richest quartz mining sections of the Mother Lode. Production records of over 100 million dollars for Angels Camp and vicinity. Prominent in early day California history. Townsite established in 1873. The locale of Mark Twain's famous story, The Jumping Frog of Calaveras County. Frequented by Joaquin Murieta, Black Bart, and other early-day bandits. Erected and dedicated by Calaveras County Chamber of Commerce May 16, 1931

We went to Miners lounge for a very cold beer. The bar man Ryan is friendly and welcoming. We will go back

Not much to do here. We went to this place Sunday noon and almost all stores were either closed or vacant.

Best massage ever. Very attentive to my pain level and her techniques was very good. Will go back for sure

It didn't seem to have any cohesive feeling thinking back. It was definitely a piece of history laid out upon 6-8 blocks and authenticity was spot on. However, it felt as if they were merely remnants and that something was missing. The idolization of the 'jumping frog' isn't exactly God's favorite so I attempted to focus on the other highlights of my trek.

Great Little western Town with everything one could need .I don't think you could find a little town like this anywhere in the entire state of California that offers so much. Restaurants, Bars,coffee shops and a Movie Theater What a fun place to visit!!!!!!!!!

Very nostalgic. Cool vibe.
