Iowa Hill was settled in the 1850s during the gold rush. The town was destroyed by fires a few times, and rebuilt. The ruins include the original Wells Fargo Bank vault, and old store, both original from the 1800s. Today a few hundred people live here among the historical structures. Look down in the river and find folks still panning for gold today.
