The state of California is famous for its vast number of natural beauty and parks, but among them a special place is occupied by the Edie Arboretum in Placerville.

Known for its apple farms and family-friendly fall events, the Apple Hill Growers Association (Apple Hill™) offers fresh fruits and vegetables from the farm, baked and canned goods, and more.

Once the third-largest city in California, Placerville grew in size during the gold rush thanks to the precious metal found first in creek beds and rocky slopes and later underground.

Shop till you drop or stroll down the street. The historic main street contains unique shops, antiques, art galleries and restaurants.

Placerville, California (population 10,300) is located in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. In 1848, gold was discovered on the American River near Placerville.
