“Eureka!” the thundering cry of the Gold Rush! In 1848, gold was discovered at John Sutter’s Mill in Coloma located on the outskirts of Sacramento. Searching for this precious metal, thousands of wannabe prospectors flooded into the region, basically forcing Sutter off of his own property. Sutter went about 30 miles to the south in search of gold. Eureka! He found it again in a creek that now bears his name, “Sutter Creek.” A town soon formed and the flavor and spirit of that humble settlement is preserved to this day, as if frozen in time. Tucked away in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, this quaint location is the site of the Historic Sutter Creek Ragtime Festival. “From the Beautiful and historic location, to the relaxed and inviting atmosphere of the venues, to the wealth of great performers … I will absolutely come back next year,” shared Eve Elliot, world champion pianist.
