Mike Stewart and guest Bernie Zimmerman join Mo Howard for a journey through Washington, California—one of Nevada County’s last surviving Gold Rush towns.

Discover how Indiana Camp became Washington and explore the stories of early prospectors, the Overland Emigrant Trail, Washington’s large Chinese American community, the historic Washington Hotel, the Kohler and Brimskill buildings, and Washington Elementary School. The conversation then crosses the South Yuba River to Canyon Creek Bridge and the former mining communities of Ormonde and Maybert.

It’s a fascinating look at the people, landmarks, mines, and forgotten settlements that shaped Washington and Nevada County history.
