California Gold Rush: Prisons, Jumping Frogs, & a VIP Stagecoach Ride!
In this Randomland adventure, we return to Sonora, California in the heart of Gold Rush Country to go deeper than ever before. This time, we step inside the historic Tuolumne County Jail and Museum, exploring the real cells, artifacts, and stories of frontier justice… where one wrong move turns into a fatal mistake.
From there, we wander the streets of Sonora, checking out the shops, historic buildings, and surviving Gold Rush-era atmosphere that still lingers today.
Next stop: Columbia State Historic Park, where we climb aboard a VIP stagecoach ride and roll through town like it’s still 1855.
Then it’s on to Angels Camp, California, home of Mark Twain’s legendary Jumping Frog of Calaveras County. We take a look at the upcoming Mark Twain Experience, explore the town’s history, and visit the place that turned a weird frog story into American folklore.
This is Gold Country as it really is - strange, historic, and still full of surprises.
