Gold Rush Era Buildings of Jackson, Calif. 

Another beautiful and historical town. Thank you for keeping the history of these small towns alive.

I hope you never quit doing this...always great to follow along on these trips back in time.

Jackson has the oldest Serbian Orthodox Church in North America built in the late 1800s. There were many Serbian miners in the old Gold mines surrounding Jackson. I heard there were Greek miners in the late 1800s buried in the cemetery in front of the church. Jackson has the oldest Serbian American community in North America. I think you need to come back to Jackson. I love visiting Jackson. It is full of history that I keep discovering when I walk around downtown with the awesome shops. Jackson's Main Street has a cool bookstore cafe, bakery owned by a Serb, shops, Celtic shops with all things made in Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Brittany, etc. I loved this clip.

Jackson is such a beautiful town with so much history !! Thank you Jeff and Sarah for taking us all along for the ride !! ❤❤

As a native Californian, I appreciate the content you produce. There is so much interesting history throughout this beautiful state!

My favorite part of California is the Gold Rush area. Filled with history and many towns so close together. I've stayed in Jackson several times as we use it for a hub to Ione, Sutter Creek, Volcano and Indian Grinding Rock State Park.

Always love to see what you bring every Sunday. Thank you sir.

I live here in Jackson. There's so much history that you just don't know about... I've been here since 1964 and a lot has changed through the years. I'm still here...

Spent a weekend in Cool for my nephews wedding back in November and had breakfast in Auburn. A lot of history in that part of our state. Thanks for taking us along!!

I thoroughly enjoyed this episode. It was like stepping back in time looking at the buildings and stores. Jackson still has that “1800’s”look to it. I like hearing about the history of these old towns and when you read the plaques that are on some of the buildings or other locations that describe what was there back then. Great job guy’s!! Totally enjoyed this! Look forward to the next one! Take care now! Frank from Philadelphia, PA.

We've been there and were doing tourist activities for a day, beautiful place to visit. My bosses live there so I'll tell them to check out your channel tomorrow at work.

Jeff and Sarah, thank you for the excellent tour of Jackson! It actually looks a lot better than I remember growing up. My wife and I will eventually be down in California again to visit family and I will try to schedule a few side trips to visit Jackson, Copperopolis, and many other places you've showcased on History Hunters. I am very curious about the Early Amador Dispatch editors being taken to Alcatraz. As always, thank you for the hard work! Your content has always been excellent but your production value continues to improve with every episode. :)

Love the little towns, so much history, history you'll never learn in schools. Thank you!

Pretty neat town with lots of history to look at, glad they have those plaques to tell the history of the buildings. Keep up the good work...

Loved this one, Calm, quiet, and so much history!! Keep them coming, even though it was 2 years ago! like the outtakes!!

I've always considered old structures as sacred places that have withstood the test of time and remain defiant despite time's overwhelming power to chip away. Another great video and beautifully filmed.

Ha! So glad to see Sarah for her comedic delivery today! And Jeff, you vandal, chipping paint off of historic buildings. I feel completely scandalized. A beautiful town, thanks for another excellent explore.

I love the downtown area They have certainly embraced their history telling us a little bit about them. It has a little of an old west feel but also a little Norman Rockwell feel. The hotel you stayed it looked nice. Thanks for the tour! Oh and glad I'm not the only one who has trouble with takes!

How nice to see a slice of an everyday town. Nice place. This is where the cereal world is❤

Jeff, it's obvious that you and Sarah really enjoy touring and "hunting history!" Thanks so much for sharing it with us! Safe travels you two and I'm looking forward to the tagging along on your next tour!!

Drove up to Jackson just last week on a service call and was delighted to see Tressler's Business Machines honored as a old time founder in the local business community. I have never meet the founder Art Tressler but I did do some business with his son Art Tressler Jr. for many years up until he retired from the trade. Jackson made a tribute to his father and the business he created of days gone by right across the street from the location of the old shop. Some local artist made a wall painting (mural) of the old shop in back of the current Gas Station as you drive by on Highway 49. Not sure when Tressler's Business Machines actually started there in Jackson but it was way earlier than when we started 51 years ago in Stockton. Time fly's. Jackson is a really a must see historical town one of many in the famous Gold Country Mother Lode.

Jackson's history was so interesting. I really enjoyed learning about this town.🤩🤩

That is a very interesting town,…Jeff, you do a great job explaining the past uses of the buildings..

What a beautiful historic town. Hope you enjoyed your stay Jeff and Sarah. God bless🙏

Sunday morning, coffee, and History Hunters. Thank you for the informative historic trip.

I moved my family out of Cali a few years ago, but the gold country is where my heart will always be.

Really an interesting town. So many bldgs. built in the 1860's over 160 year's old.

I have seen all of your videos and can’t express how much I have enjoyed every single one of them. I look forward to each new one! Thank you!

It's Higbee's!! Another great episode, loved the part about John Wayne, I remember hearing once that he went to the same high school as me, only many, many years earlier that is! This video makes me want to check out Jackson better, the most I've seen of it is the casino. Careful what you say about the hangman tree, certain people tried to erase Placerville's history regarding it's history of hangings recently. I'd hate to see that happen in Jackson too!

Love Jackson a great historic town. There’s also a great old / used bookstore by the Fire Dept. Tons of old books with some local history.

Thanks Jeff, one of my wife's family members lived in Sutter Creek in a historic home and owned several businesses in Jackson. It was good to see your video. As a member of the Native Sons of the Golden West I appreciated the opening scene. My wife it the President of the Native Daughters Parlour in Modesto and we always appreciate seeing the monuments place by both organizations.

I was raised in this town. Still consider it home. My Aunt and Grandma opened a store called The Jackson Cathouse. Grandma was a psychology professor at UC Davis in Sacramento. She passed away a few years ago from cancer.

Well, Jeff and Sarah, what a fantastic place. There is so much to see. As always, thank you for the research, and the historic perspective and pics, interspersed with current days. This was so interesting. 🤠👏💥

Having traveled up and down 49 many times Jackson is my favorite gold rush town for its charm and what it offers.

Give Jeff and Sarah a thumbs up, a comment and subscribe! This is exceptional content! You won’t be disappointed!

JEFF!! I get it! Always took me 10-15 takes to do a scene when I was acting in commercials , briefly...You reminded me of myself...lol "The chips are Painting." CLASSIC

Another wonderful Vlog. Beautiful photography. Thank you again. Hugs to Sarah.

Great memories of going to the Senator Hotel in the 1960-70’s when my Aunt waited tables. However hot outside, it was always cool inside and a Coke awaited!

Like watching paint chip. Enjoyed the tour of another place in this great country of ours.

just came home after a long night and still made time to watch my sunday morning show.... great video goodnight...haha

HEY, JEFF & SARAH What's up Guys,,, Well Yeah that looked like An old building so yes It needs a paint job But the town of Jackson Has Alot of really old And cool looking Building's with Alot of Awesome architecture And also a lots of old western town History OK Take care stay safe and will see you on the next video project

Jeff & Sarah, Thank you for all your efforts making this you tube program. My husband and I enjoy History Hunter. We hope you two will continue posting History Hunter

cool places thank you Jeff and Sarah! you stumbled at the end but finished strong! thank you all stay safe

Good morning folks. Enjoyed coming along with y'all through Jackson, & yes, you'll need to do more episodes there. Seems like a place where there's more than meets the eye initially. Saw that Missouri tag in the window & couldn't resist saying "Good Morning Jeff & Sarah" out loud.... 😂

Someone once said, if you learn something new each day it is/was a good day. It seems more and more, I learn it here! lol ThankYou

Above Jackson in the foothills we call it the city. I’ve be a resident of Amador County since 2005. I love it here! Thanks!!

Jeff and Sarah...I can only imagine that tourism increases after you post one of your videos. They are so well done and makes one want to visit the locations you so interestingly document. Thank you for taking us along on your travels.

Haha… Love the bloopers. And the photos of you and Sarah at the end‼️👍🏻

Pulled over to eat 👍🏼. Sara was on you about the building & it’s paint. 😂, as for the bloopers 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🤣

Loved it. I'd enjoy whatever research you were able to find on some of those unknown. ---Outtakes are funny, especially the facial expressions!---Sarah, sidekick?! I'm sure her sense of humor contributed to that moniker!

I loved Jackson, we use to have lunch there when we would visit the Rancheria (casino), we now reside In Kansas , loved this episode, brings back nice memories! Thank you !!

I love jackson. Dandelion days, and the candy store. I miss some of the shops. Covid took them out.

I just moved to Jackson a year ago, you’re filming in my neighborhood. I live across the street from the cemetery and a couple blocks from Main Street.

Another awesome video. I have an ancestor (great grandfather) who was a 49er. He ended up ranching closer to the coast. I would certainly like to make it back to these historical places someday

Your guided video tour of Jackson and history was well done as always.

Thanks for taking us along Jeff unbelievable amount of history, and I'm still giggling at the out takes. Central California Watching

Who the heck wouldn't take a check from the Duke? I had a good laugh when the symbols sounded at Sarah's painting remark. Also keep doing the bloopers 😂

I'm glad I ran across this I enjoyed the tour. I wouldn't mind living in a town like this. I can never stop thinking about everytime I see a small town and all the little shops I can't help thinking that they are probably lucky to get one or two customers walk in their store the hole day. It would be hard to make a living. I bet John Wayne never come back after they held him against his will and I wouldn't blame him. Thank you for the video it made me feel good watching it.

Beautiful town. That candy store would have been my hangout! I was there in 1964 with my Dad. I am a native californian also and don't remember very much about all the great places I have been in our state. I hope to see you and Sarah tour many more fantastic places here and help me remember some of the hundreds of towns I have been in . Thank you Jeff and Sarah!

Hi Jeff and Sarah! That was such a cool hotel you stayed at. Goes to show, you can get a really nice stay in a older venue. My wife said LEGOS! right before you did LOL. I always liked visiting the gold rush area, Jackson was one I never went too. Thanks for taking us there!

Just finished watching this video, loved it, I could almost see the wild, wild west, come alive , in this town, as you explored it. Also, loved, the bloobers, at the end Jeff.

Love your stories. Never, never dull.

One of my most favorite Gold Countries Haunt thanks

I love Jackson, been there many times over the years! Thanks for taking me back again 😊

I enjoy exploring old towns and seeing how building changed . Thanks for letting me visit Jackson.

I look forward to your new videos every week! Thanks.

Jeff and Sarah, very nice episode thank you!

Sunday morning was the perfect time to appreciate these structures. Enjoyed this as always.

So nice. The real estate used to be inexpensive but now it’s crazy expensive. I was laughing at the bloopers 😂😂 So much I didn’t know about Jackson

Hey! There’s St. Patrick’s Catholic Church behind the courthouse. Been to Mass there many times. Gold Mine Jewelers has been in that spot for decades. Great town!

Extra thumbs up for the intro acoustic music! Perfect pairing.

Live these shows love watching these towns thanks

Howdy Jeff, at approximately the 18:20 run time of your video the plaque located on the WFB wall has inscribed at the lower portion the name JAMES D. PHELAN, which is indeed the San Bernardino County town of Phelan! ( names after said such Senator) An interesting trivia tidbit only exhibited through/from History Hunters. As always Thank you for yet one more grand video production.

Me and my family stayed at the National Hotel in the early 80's for a big swim meat. My dad was big into history, and he picked the National. We had one of the rooms in the front that had access to the balcony overlooking main street. It was one of the few rooms that had a bathroom at the time. The tub was one of those classic Cast Iron Claw Tubs. My dad recalled a story after we had gone to sleep. He was sitting out on the balcony and watched a rowdy group of bar patrons leave a bar that was closing. They all started moving down the street to another bar called The Asher Club. They all chanted "Asher Club! Asher Club!" as they moved to the other open bar. LOL

Outtakes are the best.

WE LOVE the National Hotel!

I love those old gold rush towns. Thanks for the bloopers.😃 Nice video.☮️💖🎶

Stop in Jackson many times on our way to a car sow in the cute little town of Volcano. Jackson is a great place to visit.

Thanks Jeff and Sara! Never heard of Jackson, California. Beautiful Victorian town.❤️

Thank you for sharing the history of these old buildings.

Wow we just salivate over all things California. Our hearts are still there but our eyes only travel on RU-vid with you and Sarah. For a short while I lived in Placerville and that is as close to Jackson as I remember getting. Excellent time of day to take us on the tour and as always excellent footage. Mar

Great job with this Jeff ! The filming, the pictures and the history telling of it ! You always do your homework and put alot of effort into your work and it shows ! What a historical town ! I will share this with my Raymond California friend and family, and perhaps visit there when we go there to visit them late summer early fall. Thanks ! Bob

Just love your coverage of such places. Awesome every time!

Thanks for another 'fun while learning' trip. Outtakes made me smile too 😊. I can always count on a good HH episode. 👍

Hello History Hunters Jeff and Sarah, Happy Sunday and thanks for sharing this interesting story and teaching it's history. Have a Wonderful day 🌞

I love state Highway 49 and the Gold Rush Trail winding through the Sierra foothills...places like Amador City, Ione, Sutter Creek, and Jackson. I have so many happy memories visiting them while a kid growing up in San Francisco.

You could have said, "You don't need to get THIS close to the Old Amador Courthouse to see the paint chipping." Ha ha. What fun!

Interesting and fun as always Jeff, Thanks again,

Thanks for all the info about Jackson we go there a lot as we love to drive HYWY 49 to James town or Sonora

What a lovely tour of one of the many beautiful little towns you have there in America. Just stunning 🙏 thank you. ❤️Jodie 🇦🇺

This is a beautiful town, I could live here, but I can’t leave Nebraska. Thank you, Jeff and Sarah.

Another great video! Jackson is actually one of my dream retirement towns. And glad you changed your intro. The last one was more like a ghost hunting type intro. Keep up the good work!

I really love those old towns! Fascinating history.

Another great episode! The outtakes at the end were priceless! I inserted the s-word at every beep 🤣 How many takes, on average, would you say it takes you to get through filming an episode? Are you ever able to do it all in one shot?

Thank you for the virtual tour of Jackson. The National Hotel appears to have a big edge over the so-called modern day hotels. Thanks again.

I have to visit Jackson now! Your informative video with all the historical buildings is great. Fire seemed to be the fate of many of these gold rush towns. thanks for another historical video

I truly adore watching you guys and the many stories you bring. Great edition with the out takes too!

Thank you too Jeff! great Video

Thanks Jeff for this one always loved Jackson 👍

Super cool. We have a son named Jackson and now we just visit. ❤️
