Come celebrate the charm and excitement of the Gold Rush era during Fiddletown Heritage Day, Saturday, April 14, 2007.
Fiddletown is a tiny hamlet in the heart of Amador County, 45 miles southeast of Sacramento. The town was once a lively gold-mining community full of settlers from Missouri, China, Mexico and every other place that had people yearning for wealth from the new-found gold. Their rich cultural legacy still stands in the bricks and mortar of Fiddletown's 16 historic buildings.
To honor these hard-working pioneers, the Fiddletown Preservation Society is sponsoring Fiddletown Heritage Day. Activities will take place throughout town from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Some of the special features include guest speakers, gold-panning workshops, a cowboy lunch, live entertainment, a guided tour of town, and many other fun, family-friendly things to do.
The event celebrates the seasonal opening of the Chew Kee Museum, a historic Chinese herb shop that was restored in 1987. The Chew Kee is open Saturdays from noon to 4 p.m. during the months of April through October.
Admission is free, but donations will be accepted for the Restoration of Chinese Structures (ROCS) project to refurbish Fiddletown's historic Chinese general store and gambling hall.
