Columbia State Historic Park, located in Tuolumne County, is designated a National Historic Landmark District. Unlike many Gold Rush settlements that disappeared due to fire, vandalism and time, Columbia survived. The community was never completely deserted, and in 1945, the State Legislature made the site a State Historic Park in order to preserve a typical Gold Rush town and share the impact the Gold Rush made in California.
Columbia State Historic Park is a major tourist destination in Tuolumne County. The Park includes more than twenty concessionaires whose businesses keep the Gold Rush merchant story alive.

09/16/2023 - Water Tower at Brice Station Vineyards on September 16! Don't Miss It!! Murphys, CA...Based in Los Angeles, this old-timey punk rock revivalist band goes by the name of Water Tower. They released their debut album “Fly Around” on March 27, 2020. This is the sixth album for founder Kenny Feinstein, but the first since kicking the bucket (the band was formally Water Tower Bucket Boys). The album is a ten-track collection of songs rooted in bluegrass and folk, indie rock and a dash of electronic landscaping. This album represents a transition for Feinstein and the re-birth of the band in it’s neighborhood of Echo Park in Los Angeles. The new album manages to blend psychedelic and punk influences weaved into their traditional love of Bluegrass and Americana instruments, creating their mixed bag of branded music.

Milliaire Winery is a small family-owned winery founded by Liz and Steve Millier in 1983 in the cellar of their former home in Murphys CA. In 1990, the winery moved to an old Flying A gas station on Main Street in Murphys. The whole building was utilized for daily operations; barrels stacked in the repair bays, wine tanks in the backyard, bottling in the front yard and the tasting room in the office. There were jokes about what was in "those tanks" and a friend of the Milliers' dubbed it the "Roadside Chateau". Following their dreams of making premium wines from the Sierra Foothills, today Milliaire Winery has expanded and occupies over an 8,000 square foot winery with a dedicated barrel room and modern crush pad facility. The Milliaire Winery tasting room still resides in the old "Roadside Chateau" at 276 Main Street. Learn more about how Liz and Steve met!
