Marshall Gold Discovery State Historic Park is located about half way between Auburn and
Placerville on California's historic Highway 49. Here, in the streambed of the South Fork of
the American River, James Marshall found some gold flakes in January 1848. Various markers, tools and
buildings on this site illustrate the times of the gold rush. The park contains the James Marshall
Monument, a Gold Discovery Museum and various trails and picnic areas.
