Location:
Columbia State Historic Park
Description:
This is a pilot's dream getaway. The City Hotel of
Columbia is located in the Gold Country of the
beautiful Sierra Nevada foothills. You can fly in
and walk from the airport or drive to this
beautifully restored Gold Rush hotel that is
furnished with exquisite antiques and contains a
"three-star restaurant", saloon and ice cream
parlor. The City Hotel and its sister, the Fallon
Hotel, feature authentically restored 19th century
rooms with modern conveniences. Children are
welcome, but no pets. The dining room of the hotel
is also available for weddings, business meetings
and special private gatherings.
Columbia has been called "the ghost town that
never died." Located in the heart of the Mother
Lode near Sonora, Columbia, Territory of
California, offered up $87 million in gold in 1860s
dollars -- that's a half billion at today's values.
Once one of the largest cities in the state, the
town came and went in a mere ten years. Today, the
town affords a living history of the Gold Rush era,
with a restored business district and a very nice
general aviation airport. Airport details are
