 Once
home to the Mi-wuk Indians, Sonora was changed forever by
the
discovery of gold in 1848. In its Gold Rush heyday, Sonora
was a cosmopolitan and often lawless settlement attracting
people
from around the world. Incorporated in 1851, vestiges of the
exciting frontier days can now be seen on just about any
downtown
street. Enjoy superb antique shopping, nouveau and hometown
style restaurants and great evening entertainment along
with
a rich historical past. History is fun on your visit to Sonora.
One of the
most enjoyable things to do when visiting Historic Downtown
Sonora is to park your car at one end of the main street and
simply amble down one side and back along the other, while
exploring
the many shops offering a staggering variety of goods and treasures!
These quaint buildings have been around a long time and
many
of them have been faithfully restored to their original splendor.
There is sure to be an interesting story from the past everywhere
you turn. Even the most jaded and inveterate shopper will find
plenty of variety and undeniable quality. If wearable art
is
your special quest, rewards abound! The folks who have gathered
some of the finest antique china, furniture and art are happy
to regale you with the history of each piece. The discerning
eye will find abundant opportunities for a visual feast. And
speaking of feasts, there are also many inviting restaurants
offering cuisine from around the world.
