Sutter's Mill

Highlight • Historical Site

Nestled along the South Fork American River in Coloma, California lies an unassuming sawmill that sparked a historic frenzy. Sutter's Mill was owned by 19th-century pioneer John Sutter when gold was first discovered there in 1848, igniting the California Gold Rush. This monumental event drew hopeful prospectors from around the world to the Sierra Nevada foothills, forever changing the landscape and population of California. Sutter's Mill marked the site of the western United States' first significant gold discovery, making it a cherished landmark. Today, the mill is preserved within Marshall Gold Discovery State Historic Park, allowing visitors to reflect on its legacy and the pivotal role it played in the history and development of the United States.
