Weaverville Walking Tour

Start your journey on Mill Street at the former Johnson Home, an embodiment of the local heritage.

Next, make your way to Main Street, where you will encounter original buildings like the Joss House, California's oldest surviving Taoist temple from 1874. This site reflects the influence of Chinese immigrants during the Gold Rush era.

Continue your exploration in the Weaverville Historic District, which features preserved structures, including hotels and general stores that offer insights into the town's mining past. Each building tells a story of how Weaverville evolved alongside the boom of the mining industry. Proceed to the 1860 Trinity County Courthouse, a focal point of local government distinguished by its classical architecture.

Be sure to visit the Jake Jackson Museum, where exhibits delve into mining history, Native American heritage, and significant moments in the town’s development. The museum serves as a resource for understanding the diverse historical narrative of the area.
