PLACERVILLE, CALIF – In January of 1848, the building blocks were laid out for a community now known as Hangtown. Old Dry Diggins miners had to cart dirt down to the running water nearby to search for gold. In those days, residents had a vote and promptly dealt with criminals, who had only selfish interests and did not care what was best for the community.
Now, Hangtown’s folklore is being misrepresented nationwide by a false narrative.
