Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 бер 2022
- Jeff & Sarah recently explored the historic mining town of Jackson, Calif., and came away impressed to see the historic buildings, some of which date back to the 1850s, still in use today!
They stayed at the historic National Hotel and will show you their room and tell you about John Wayne’s time there in 1963.
The historic Main Street is also where where wine tycoon Ernest Gallo was born!

Another beautiful and historical town. Thank you for keeping the history of these small towns alive.
I hope you never quit doing this...always great to follow along on these trips back in time.
Jackson is such a beautiful town with so much history !! Thank you Jeff and Sarah for taking us all along for the ride !! ❤❤
Thank you very much. I’m glad that you enjoyed our trip to Jackson.
As a native Californian, I appreciate the content you produce. There is so much interesting history throughout this beautiful state!
Me too!
I am too a native of southern calif so was the rest of my family
Jackson has the oldest Serbian Orthodox Church in North America built in the late 1800s. There were many Serbian miners in the old Gold mines surrounding Jackson. I heard there were Greek miners in the late 1800s buried in the cemetery in front of the church. Jackson has the oldest Serbian American community in North America. I think you need to come back to Jackson. I love visiting Jackson. It is full of history that I keep discovering when I walk around downtown with the awesome shops. Jackson's Main Street has a cool bookstore cafe, bakery owned by a Serb, shops, Celtic shops with all things made in Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Brittany, etc. I loved this clip.
Thank you for that information. Unfortunately we didn't get over to that church and burial yard.
@@jbenziggy There is also a Serbian Children's Camp in Jackson built in 1961. Been going to the camp my whole life. It is called St. Sava Mission. It is adjacent to the local hospital which was built on land that the camp used to own and sold to them.
I love the downtown area
They have certainly embraced their history telling us a little bit about them. It has a little of an old west feel but also a little Norman Rockwell feel. The hotel you stayed it looked nice. Thanks for the tour! Oh and glad I'm not the only one who has trouble with takes!
Jackson is a lovely place. I wouldn’t mind living there. As far as flub ups, I have a lot of them. I don’t know how actors memorize their lines because I have trouble with just the on-camera presentation. I think I just get too wound up. LOL. Thanks for the nice comments!
My favorite part of California is the Gold Rush area. Filled with history and many towns so close together. I've stayed in Jackson several times as we use it for a hub to Ione, Sutter Creek, Volcano and Indian Grinding Rock State Park.
Always love to see what you bring every Sunday. Thank you sir.
I appreciate that, Edward!
Spent a weekend in Cool for my nephews wedding back in November and had breakfast in Auburn. A lot of history in that part of our state. Thanks for taking us along!!
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching and commenting!
I enjoyed Auburn as well.
I thoroughly enjoyed this episode. It was like stepping back in time looking at the buildings and stores. Jackson still has that “1800’s”look to it.
I like hearing about the history of these old towns and when you read the plaques that are on some of the buildings or other locations that describe what was there back then. Great job guy’s!! Totally enjoyed this! Look forward to the next one! Take care now! Frank from Philadelphia, PA.
We've been there and were doing tourist activities for a day, beautiful place to visit. My bosses live there so I'll tell them to check out your channel tomorrow at work.
Jeff and Sarah, thank you for the excellent tour of Jackson! It actually looks a lot better than I remember growing up. My wife and I will eventually be down in California again to visit family and I will try to schedule a few side trips to visit Jackson, Copperopolis, and many other places you've showcased on History Hunters. I am very curious about the Early Amador Dispatch editors being taken to Alcatraz. As always, thank you for the hard work! Your content has always been excellent but your production value continues to improve with every episode. :)
Thank you very much, Mike. We value very highly your comments about our production work. I think a lot of UA-camrs don’t put in the effort for quality and it shows we’re also glad to hear that we inspire you to visit some of these places in California that most people overlook. One of the payoffs for doing this hard work is enjoying great comments like these and we thank you.
Love the little towns, so much history, history you'll never learn in schools. Thank you!
Pretty neat town with lots of history to look at, glad they have those plaques to tell the history of the buildings. Keep up the good work...
I've always considered old structures as sacred places that have withstood the test of time and remain defiant despite time's overwhelming power to chip away. Another great video and beautifully filmed.
Give Jeff and Sarah a thumbs up, a comment and subscribe! This is exceptional content! You won’t be disappointed!
It's Higbee's!! Another great episode, loved the part about John Wayne, I remember hearing once that he went to the same high school as me, only many, many years earlier that is!
This video makes me want to check out Jackson better, the most I've seen of it is the casino.
Careful what you say about the hangman tree, certain people tried to erase Placerville's history regarding it's history of hangings recently. I'd hate to see that happen in Jackson too!
That is a very interesting town,…Jeff, you do a great job explaining the past uses of the buildings..
I try! Thanks, Mike!
Jeff, it's obvious that you and Sarah really enjoy touring and "hunting history!" Thanks so much for sharing it with us! Safe travels you two and I'm looking forward to the tagging along on your next tour!!
Thank you Nick! We appreciate your encouragement and blessings! We enjoy what we do!
Ha! So glad to see Sarah for her comedic delivery today! And Jeff, you vandal, chipping paint off of historic buildings. I feel completely scandalized. A beautiful town, thanks for another excellent explore.
Jackson's history was so interesting. I really enjoyed learning about this town.🤩🤩
I moved my family out of Cali a few years ago, but the gold country is where my heart will always be.
Californians NEVER refer to our st ate as Cali. Never.
What a beautiful historic town. Hope you enjoyed your stay Jeff and Sarah. God bless🙏
Sunday morning, coffee, and History Hunters. Thank you for the informative historic trip.
Our pleasure, Norma!
Thanks Jeff, one of my wife's family members lived in Sutter Creek in a historic home and owned several businesses in Jackson. It was good to see your video. As a member of the Native Sons of the Golden West I appreciated the opening scene. My wife it the President of the Native Daughters Parlour in Modesto and we always appreciate seeing the monuments place by both organizations.
Very cool! Sutter Creek is a cool little town too.
Really an interesting town. So many bldgs. built in the 1860's over 160 year's old.
I have seen all of your videos and can’t express how much I have enjoyed every single one of them. I look forward to each new one! Thank you!
Love Jackson a great historic town. There’s also a great old / used bookstore by the Fire Dept. Tons of old books with some local history.
I will have to duck in there next time we are up there!
There’s a great Sherlock Holmes display, upstairs, in the bookstore! Check out the profile of Ol’ Sherlock in the window! They used to serve tea in this area, too!
Good morning folks. Enjoyed coming along with y'all through Jackson, & yes, you'll need to do more episodes there. Seems like a place where there's more than meets the eye initially.
Saw that Missouri tag in the window & couldn't resist saying "Good Morning Jeff & Sarah" out loud.... 😂
Well, Jeff and Sarah, what a fantastic place. There is so much to see. As always, thank you for the research, and the historic perspective and pics, interspersed with current days. This was so interesting. 🤠👏💥
Glad you enjoyed it, Rhonda! We appreciate you letting us know!
Jeff and Sarah...I can only imagine that tourism increases after you post one of your videos. They are so well done and makes one want to visit the locations you so interestingly document. Thank you for taking us along on your travels.
Thanks! That’s a very nice thing to say. Let’s hope that’s the case. I know that one man visited Copperopolis after watching our video and then he made his own video and he mentioned us in it so I know that some people are actually visiting the places that we visit.
@@jbenziggy I know that if I lived near any of the places you cover, I certainly would visit them because you make them so interesting. Thank you!
Loved this one, Calm, quiet, and so much history!! Keep them coming, even though it was 2 years ago! like the outtakes!!
Jeff & Sarah,
Thank you for all your efforts making this you tube program. My husband and I enjoy History Hunter. We hope you two will continue posting History Hunter
Thanks for watching! We plan to keep doing this as long as we have an audience!
Hi Jeff and Sarah! That was such a cool hotel you stayed at. Goes to show, you can get a really nice stay in a older venue. My wife said LEGOS! right before you did LOL. I always liked visiting the gold rush area, Jackson was one I never went too. Thanks for taking us there!
Drove up to Jackson just last week on a service call and was delighted to see Tressler's Business Machines honored as a old time founder in the local business community. I have never meet the founder Art Tressler but I did do some business with his son Art Tressler Jr. for many years up until he retired from the trade. Jackson made a tribute to his father and the business he created of days gone by right across the street from the location of the old shop. Some local artist made a wall painting (mural) of the old shop in back of the current Gas Station as you drive by on Highway 49. Not sure when Tressler's Business Machines actually started there in Jackson but it was way earlier than when we started 51 years ago in Stockton. Time fly's. Jackson is a really a must see historical town one of many in the famous Gold Country Mother Lode.
Having traveled up and down 49 many times Jackson is my favorite gold rush town for its charm and what it offers.
I just spoke to the state senator, who is from Jackson and she tells me that they got quite a dumping of snow last night. Lol.
@@jbenziggy I bet. I'm going to head up 108 tomorrow and check out the coverage
How nice to see a slice of an everyday town. Nice place. This is where the cereal world is❤
Like watching paint chip. Enjoyed the tour of another place in this great country of ours.
Thanks 👍 Apparently a lot of folks got a kick out of my twisted tongue! LOL
Love your stories. Never, never dull.
Thanks for your encouragement! It’s helpful!
cool places thank you Jeff and Sarah! you stumbled at the end but finished strong! thank you all stay safe
Another wonderful Vlog. Beautiful photography. Thank you again. Hugs to Sarah.
Hugs back! Thanks!
Beautiful town. That candy store would have been my hangout! I was there in 1964 with my Dad. I am a native californian also and don't remember very much about all the great places I have been in our state. I hope to see you and Sarah tour many more fantastic places here and help me remember some of the hundreds of towns I have been in . Thank you Jeff and Sarah!
Loved it. I'd enjoy whatever research you were able to find on some of those unknown. ---Outtakes are funny, especially the facial expressions!---Sarah, sidekick?! I'm sure her sense of humor contributed to that moniker!
Semi-oblivious sidekick 😁
Thanks for taking us along Jeff unbelievable amount of history, and I'm still giggling at the out takes.
Central California Watching
I laugh when I watch it too! Thanks Theo!
I live here in Jackson. There's so much history that you just don't know about... I've been here since 1964 and a lot has changed through the years. I'm still here...
WE LOVE the National Hotel!
I love jackson. Dandelion days, and the candy store. I miss some of the shops. Covid took them out.
Pulled over to eat 👍🏼. Sara was on you about the building & it’s paint. 😂, as for the bloopers 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🤣
Another awesome video. I have an ancestor (great grandfather) who was a 49er. He ended up ranching closer to the coast. I would certainly like to make it back to these historical places someday
It would be a worthwhile trip if you did come to California and visited some of these places. The quaint little towns of the Motherload are really beautiful and interesting.
I enjoy exploring old towns and seeing how building changed . Thanks for letting me visit Jackson.
Thanks for coming along!
Great memories of going to the Senator Hotel in the 1960-70’s when my Aunt waited tables. However hot outside, it was always cool inside and a Coke awaited!
I'm glad I ran across this I enjoyed the tour. I wouldn't mind living in a town like this. I can never stop thinking about everytime I see a small town and all the little shops I can't help thinking that they are probably lucky to get one or two customers walk in their store the hole day. It would be hard to make a living. I bet John Wayne never come back after they held him against his will and I wouldn't blame him. Thank you for the video it made me feel good watching it.
We are happy that you liked it! It is tough being in business these days. So much seems to be going wrong in our country and world. But we hope for better times!
JEFF!! I get it! Always took me 10-15 takes to do a scene when I was acting in commercials , briefly...You reminded me of myself...lol "The chips are Painting." CLASSIC
Who the heck wouldn't take a check from the Duke? I had a good laugh when the symbols sounded at Sarah's painting remark. Also keep doing the bloopers 😂
You could have said, "You don't need to get THIS close to the Old Amador Courthouse to see the paint chipping." Ha ha. What fun!
Wow we just salivate over all things California. Our hearts are still there but our eyes only travel on UA-cam with you and Sarah.
For a short while I lived in Placerville and that is as close to Jackson as I remember getting.
Excellent time of day to take us on the tour and as always excellent footage. Mar
Thanks Jeff and Sara! Never heard of Jackson, California. Beautiful Victorian town.❤️
Someone once said, if you learn something new each day it is/was a good day. It seems more and more, I learn it here! lol ThankYou
Right on! Thanks for learning from us!
Jeff and Sarah, very nice episode thank you!
Thanks for another 'fun while learning' trip. Outtakes made me smile too 😊. I can always count on a good HH episode. 👍
Your guided video tour of Jackson and history was well done as always.
I appreciate that nice compliment! Glad to hear that you enjoyed it!
Thanks again guys! Another great adventure ◇♡◇
I love Jackson, been there many times over the years! Thanks for taking me back again 😊
Live these shows love watching these towns thanks
Hello History Hunters Jeff and Sarah, Happy Sunday and thanks for sharing this interesting story and teaching it's history. Have a Wonderful day 🌞
Thank you very much. You have a great day too.
Haha… Love the bloopers. And the photos of you and Sarah at the end‼️👍🏻
Thank you for sharing the history of these old buildings.
You’re welcome and thank you for watching!
Me and my family stayed at the National Hotel in the early 80's for a big swim meat.
My dad was big into history, and he picked the National. We had one of the rooms in the front that had access to the balcony overlooking main street. It was one of the few rooms that had a bathroom at the time. The tub was one of those classic Cast Iron Claw Tubs.
My dad recalled a story after we had gone to sleep. He was sitting out on the balcony and watched a rowdy group of bar patrons leave a bar that was closing. They all started moving down the street to another bar called The Asher Club. They all chanted "Asher Club! Asher Club!" as they moved to the other open bar. LOL
I love Jackson as I do all other Mother Lode towns like San Andreas, Sonora, Sutter Creek, etc.
I loved Jackson, we use to have lunch there when we would visit the
Rancheria (casino), we now reside
In Kansas , loved this episode, brings back nice memories! Thank you !!
Glad it brought back some good memories!
I love those old gold rush towns. Thanks for the bloopers.😃 Nice video.☮️💖🎶
Glad you like them, Marcey!
Just finished watching this video, loved it, I could almost see the wild, wild west, come alive , in this town, as you explored it. Also, loved, the bloobers, at the end Jeff.
Glad you liked the video … and my flub ups! 😜
Thanks Jeff for this one always loved Jackson 👍
Sunday morning was the perfect time to appreciate these structures. Enjoyed this as always.
Thank you for the nice comment!
Above Jackson in the foothills we call it the city. I’ve be a resident of Amador County since 2005. I love it here! Thanks!!
You certainly picked a beautiful part of the state to live in. I’m glad you liked video.
Just love your coverage of such places. Awesome every time!
One of my most favorite Gold Countries Haunt thanks
Great job with this Jeff ! The filming, the pictures and the history telling of it ! You always do your homework and put alot of effort into your work and it shows ! What a historical town ! I will share this with my Raymond California friend and family, and perhaps visit there when we go there to visit them late summer early fall. Thanks ! Bob
just came home after a long night and still made time to watch my sunday morning show.... great video goodnight...haha
Howdy Jeff, at approximately the 18:20 run time of your video the plaque located on the WFB wall has inscribed at the lower portion the name JAMES D. PHELAN,
which is indeed the San Bernardino County town of Phelan! ( names after said such Senator) An interesting trivia tidbit only exhibited through/from History Hunters.
As always Thank you for yet one more grand video production.
Well that is a very interesting observation. Are you sure that they are the same individual and not two people with the same name? I always double check when I find discoveries like that, but you’re probably right.
I look forward to your new videos every week! Thanks.
What a lovely tour of one of the many beautiful little towns you have there in America.
Just stunning 🙏 thank you. ❤️Jodie 🇦🇺
Hi Jodie, thanks! Glad you enjoyed it! What country do you live in?
@@jbenziggy Australia, Wollongong which is 1 hr 20 minutes from Sydney.
I just love Jackson that's why I live here now
I have to visit Jackson now! Your informative video with all the historical buildings is great. Fire seemed to be the fate of many of these gold rush towns. thanks for another historical video
Outtakes are the best.
California has so much awesome history.
Interesting and fun as always Jeff, Thanks again,
Glad you enjoyed this one, Art! Blessings!
Thank you for the virtual tour of Jackson. The National Hotel appears to have a big edge over the so-called modern day hotels. Thanks again.
It’s a nice place and very affordable!
I love state Highway 49 and the Gold Rush Trail winding through the Sierra foothills...places like Amador City, Ione, Sutter Creek, and Jackson. I have so many happy memories visiting them while a kid growing up in San Francisco.
It is a beautiful place and relatively unspoiled still, unlike the rest of California. It think it would be a great place to retire to! Thanks for watching and the nice comment!
Stop in Jackson many times on our way to a car sow in the cute little town of Volcano. Jackson is a great place to visit.
Super cool. We have a son named Jackson and now we just visit. ❤️
Fantastic video Jeff! Jackson is one of my favorite stomping grounds. However I didn’t know all of the history that you told about. Very interesting. Love the outtakes! Thank you so much.💜🤟🏻😎🍀
We certainly appreciate you enjoying the video and telling us that you did. And I’m also glad that you like the out takes at the end.
This is a beautiful town, I could live here, but I can’t leave Nebraska. Thank you, Jeff and Sarah.
It is a gorgeous little town!
@@jbenziggy ♥️‼️
Another great episode, Jeff. Loved the outtakes at the end. The harder you tried, the more you struggled. Been there, done that.
You have no idea Dave how badly my tongue will twist up when a camera is on me. Lol
@@jbenziggy I have my issues without the pressures of the camera lol.
Extra thumbs up for the intro acoustic music! Perfect pairing.
I really love those old towns! Fascinating history.
Another great episode! The outtakes at the end were priceless! I inserted the s-word at every beep 🤣
How many takes, on average, would you say it takes you to get through filming an episode? Are you ever able to do it all in one shot?
I trip over my words all the time and have to splice a lot of the time. I cannot figure out how stage actors memorize whole scripts. My brain doesn't work like that! LOL! Thanks for the great comment ... and for watching!
Love the outtake. Been to Jackson many times over 50 years, but never in depth like you do. Thank you for the ride, walk. Enjoyed this.
Lorna, we are really happy that you enjoyed our visit to Jackson and hopefully someday you can do that yourself and enjoy it in person. Thank you so much.
Love the bloopers!!! yay!! you both are awesome
Thanks so much, Kathy! I even watch my own bloopers and chuckle too.
I truly adore watching you guys and the many stories you bring. Great edition with the out takes too!
We really like hearing that so both Sarah and I want to thank you for your expression. We really enjoy doing these videos and especially enjoy knowing that people like what we do. Have a great week.
Fasinating, I love looking at your history sites. Thanks 🙏👍
