National Historic Landmark - Coloma

An Artist's View

”The principle street of Coloma was alive with crowds of moving men, passing and repassing, laughing, talking, and all appearing in the best of humor. It was a scene that no other country could ever imitate.”

from “A California Journal” by Charles Gillespie

Look over your left shoulder and you will see the view this artist saw in 1853
