Many buildings date from the 1860s and form an interesting setting for antique shops, restaurants, wine tasting rooms and unique shopping opportunities. An arts center brings an impressive amount of talent to western Nevada County, as well as providing a venue for local artists and performers. Nearby are the Nevada County Fairgrounds and Empire Mine State Historic Park.
