Sutter Creek is one of the most historically famous cities in the
world. Known as the "Jewel of the Mother Lode" - 'mother lode' being a term associated
with the mining of gold and silver referring to a principal vein, or zone of veins, of
ore - the city is named after John Sutter, who in 1848 ignited the California Gold
Rush when a member of his work crew discovered the precious metal while building a
sawmill.
Today Sutter Creek is a tourist town. Sutter Gold
Mine offers a comprehensive look into the mining process and its historical
progression from simple panning to hydraulic mining. One-hour underground tours
venturing deep into the heart of the Mother Lode are available, as well as one-hour
walking tours offering additional mining experience. Stop by, put on a hard-hat and
step aboard a shuttle journeying deep underground where you'll see beautiful crystals
and learn how to distinguish real gold from pyrite ("Fools Gold") in the quartz of the
Comet Vein.

Jackson Lodge is Sutter Creek lodging at its most convenient. For more Sutter Gold
