Sacramento, capital of the U.S. state of California, lies at the confluence of the Sacramento River and American River. The district of Old Sacramento harkens back to the city’s Gold Rush era, with wooden sidewalks and wagon rides. One of several museums in Old Sacramento, the California State Railroad Museum depicts the construction of the Transcontinental Railroad, one of the country’s earliest technological feats.
Auburn is a city in and the county seat of Placer County, California. Its population was 13,330 during the 2010 census. Auburn is known for its California Gold Rush history, and is registered as a California Historical Landmark.

Auburn Gold Rush town:
Auburn is located on Interstate 80, at an elevation of 1,500' in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada. It is about 35 miles NE of Sacramento, exactly 100 miles west of Reno, NV, and is the county seat of Placer County.
Auburn was founded at the beginning of the California Gold Rush in 1849, when Claude Chana (statue at left) discovered gold in the streambed of what is now Auburn Ravine Creek. Indeed, the first California gold discovery site by James Marshall at John Sutter's sawmill in Coloma is only about 20 minutes south on State Route 49. For some time, Auburn was the eastern terminus of the Central Pacific Railroad which would eventually link up with the Union Pacific at Promontary Point in Utah and become the first transcontinental rail link.
The North and Middle Forks of the American River join just below Auburn, and continue on down into Folsom Lake. Their confluence is the site of the 3rd highest bridge in the US, a span some 700' above the river. The Foresthill Bridge was built to span the lake that would be formed by the now-abandoned Auburn Dam, and has been the site of a number of stunts for films .
The Coolie is one of a number of large concrete statues created by Dr. Kenneth Fox, a local dentist. Most of Dr. Fox's work depicts characters from the Gold Rush era (another of his large statues is of Claude Chana and is in Old Town Auburn -- see above). The Chinese came (or, in some cases, apparently were brought) to Auburn to provide labor for the building of the transcontinental railroad. This statue currenly resides at the top of Lincoln Way (part of the old Lincoln Hwy, and later part of US 40), next to the old depot.
The California State Railroad Museum (CSRM) in Old Sacramento is the world-class tribute to the role of the iron horse in connecting California to the rest of the nation. Our museum features 21 lavishly restored locomotives and cars, some dating back to 1862. There is a full-scale diorama of an 1860s construction site high in the Sierra Nevada as well as a bridge elevated 24 feet above the museum floor.

Chinese problem in Placer County
Donate to our campaign today and put Chinese Whispers: Golden Gate on stage!:
Thank you for your support!
Chinese Whispers: Sierra StoriesSM is our pilot production developed as a California Story Fund project of the California Council on the Humanities. It is the result of four years of research and interviews by Artistic and Project Director Rene Yung to unearth and document handed-down folk memories of the Chinese in the Sierra Nevada foothills, and culminated in a multimedia storytelling event presented in collaboration with the Placer Arts Council at the Tower Theater in Roseville, CA, in August, 2009. The event is documented on a DVD.
Nine community tellers ranging from 19 to 90 years of age participated in the event, including 90-year old Adele Bellmer of Loomis who related stories from her family, and Virgil Wong of Grass Valley who acted as a proxy teller for elder members of the Wong family of Rocklin. Stories for the production covered a range of localities in Placer County, from Roseville, Rocklin, Loomis, Auburn, and Colfax, to Dutch Flat.
Rather than trying to re-create complete narratives out of fragmented records, the storytelling script highlights the fragmentary nature of the material in an evocative composition that reveals traces of the historical times, and poetically conveys “what we will never know for certain about these early Chinese men and women who helped build the American West,” as Yung wrote in her Introduction. She also developed the production to reinvigorate community stewardship in this overlooked part of their local history in the fast-changing Sierra Nevada region.
