Plymouth, California

The town of Plymouth is at the north end of Amador County. In the 1850s Plymouth and nearby Pokerville grew up side by side. The Plymouth Consolidated Mine produces over $13 million in gold. Remaining today is the Empire building, once the mining company's brick office.

To the north, Nashville, once called Quartzburg, was one of California's earliest quartz-mining districts. Here, the first stamp mill in the Mother Lode operated.

The town is the site of the Amador County Fairgrounds. The little town is now considered the gateway to the many wineries in the Shenandoah Valley. Accommodations and camping are available.

Today the town is undergoing something of a revival, in part due to its proximity to Amador County wine country. Main Street now hosts both an elegant gourmet grocery store and a top-flight restaurant.
