I took a ranger led tour at Columbia State Historic Park.
The park preserves several Gold Rush era buildings.
Many are privately owned and run as tourist shops.
Some are operated by the parks dept.
A few like the Tibbits House were actually moved from other locations.
Citizen No. 1--people-pulled & people-powered fire engine!
Next stop the Wilson Store.
I've always found industrial age commerce fascinating.
Apparently fire was a serious problem in boom shanty towns.
