Today we visited the site of the California Gold Rush!!! The students took a tour of the site from a very knowledgeable tour guide. He taught us all about the history of the California Gold Rush. We learned about how so many people were first attracted to California because of this great discovery. People all over the United States and the world traveled to California because of "Gold Fever!!" Many of these people ended up starting businesses, trading posts, importing goods to sell to miners, farming and ranching. The California Gold Rush was one of the most significant events in California history and is responsible for what California has become today!
