This beautiful little church, a old store building, a former residence, and a shed are all that’s left of this gold mining town. It’s state heritage site now and there are plans to restore the buildings. A few interpretive signs are located on the grounds. Hydraulic mining caused a lot of ecological damage to the surrounding area. Some restoration has been attempted. You can see the damage and restoration by walking the short trail that’s located across the street and down the hill from the store.
Nothing is accessible but it’s possible to view the buildings from your vehicle.
The road to Golden is paved, a bit narrow with curves. Several pullouts across from the store are large enough for RVs. Golden
