Join Huell and travel to Downieville, nestled high in the Sierra Nevada mountains, to see what makes this little town so special. Explore a town that stood during the years of the California Gold Rush; meet the staff on the Mountain Messenger, the state’s oldest weekly newspaper; and watch a demonstration of the long, heavy wooden skis worn by the gold miners in the mid-1800s.
