"They fairly reveled in gold, whiskey, fights and fandangoes, and were unspeakably happy." -- from Roughing It by Mark Twain
Not all of the forty-niners who flocked to the goldfields of California were miners. One small group were farmers determined to provide supplies to the passing miners. They settled along the banks of Dry Creek during the early days of the gold rush in an area which eventually became Galt. Although buildings were mostly wooden, Galt's architectural history has been spared the same fiery fate as many Gold Rush and frontier towns. As a result, many of Galt's historic places still exist, in beautiful well-preserved grandeur, making the town a lovely reminder of bygone days. View Galt City Guide
