Jamestown is located about 45 miles east from Modesto, California in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountain range. This rustic town has kept its character from the days of the Gold Rush. This is a great place to getaway and learn a little bit about the history of California while you enjoy your vacation. Local museums in Jamestown and nearby Sonora commemorate the Gold Rush days and the early pioneers in the area. Columbia State Historic Park has many exhibits and relics of these bygone days. Back in Jamestown, one of the most popular activities is to pan for gold! You may either try to find a nugget yourself or have Gold Prospecting Adventures teach you about the art of panning. Another attraction in Jamestown is the Railtown 1897 State Historic Park, which has three steam locomotives and a museum. Rustic storefronts also add their own bit of history to the town. Jamestown is a wonderful place to get away from all the hustle and bustle of everyday life and enjoy a well-earned vacation. The Modesto City – County Airport (MOD, 45miles) is the closest airport to Jamestown.
