Centered in Placer County, Colfax lies northeast of the state capital, Sacramento, in the California foothills. The Gold Rush of 1849 transformed these serene surroundings overnight into a flurry of human activity as men sought wealth.

The town still serves as a junction point for the railroad and a destination stop for tourists to enjoy its unique history.
