EXPLORE AUBURN
HISTORIC AUBURN
GATEWAY TO THE HIGH SIERRA
Auburn is a true gem of the Gold Country. Rich in culture and history, Auburn offers visitors a warm, welcoming community, ripe with a burgeoning food scene, unique shopping options, as well as breweries and wineries that are as unique as its residents. It also boasts a seemingly endless treasure trove of idyllic and diverse recreational opportunities.
Known as the Endurance Capital of the World for the many activities and distance races it holds annually, including two unique “100-milers” (one on foot, one
on horseback) that makes Auburn an outdoor enthusiast’s dream. Ideally
situated along Interstate 80 and the trans-continental railroad, and with hundreds of miles of trails and beautiful rivers just outside of town, Auburn is the gateway to the American River, Sierra Nevada, Tahoe, Reno, and beyond.
Within this quaint, yet booming foothill community, you will find a vibrant Old Town that can trace its roots back to the Gold Rush Era of California, as well as a growing, quirky and eclectic, mid-century
Downtown District. With Auburn’s iconic courthouse as the centerpiece between Old Town and Downtown, these two districts offer a wide range of dining options, a multitude of venues for sampling local beers and wines, as well as a plethora
of boutiques and antique shops to enjoy. It’s guaranteed; a stop in Auburn will not disappoint!
SHOPPING & DINING
Not known to many visitors or newcomers, Auburn actually has two distinct historic business districts. Both have their own storied history and individual character yet share common roots in the Gold Rush Era of 19th Century architecture and are made up of independently owned shops, restaurants and art galleries.
OLD TOWN
(from the Courthouse to the Alehouse and Commercial St. area)
Old Town today is a vibrant hub of the Trail, bubbling with locals and tourists alike, Wine & Ale enthusiasts flock to their favorite hot spots sprinkled throughout.
