HISTORY
The "Pride of
the Mountains" was
built in 1853, during the heat of the "gold fever" pandemic. It was the
cry of "Gold!" that brought adventurers to Georgetown; it was the clear
air, towering pines, and untamed beauty that kept them here.
The mining camp, known in
the mid-1800's as "Growlersburg" (perhaps because nuggets were so big
they "growled" in the gold pans!), held riches beyond imagination. One
famous nugget from the Woodside Mine, whose lode still runs under the
American River Inn, weighed in at 126 ounces. It is recorded that by
spring of 1853, an estimated $2,000,000 in gold had been mined in
Historic Georgetown.
The Inn served as a stage
coach stop and a boarding house for miners. Surviving many dreaded fires
that were the terror of most mining camps, the original American Hotel
(circa 1853) was damaged by fire in 1899. But at community demand, it
rose from the ashes to host travelers down to this day, as the Historic
American River Inn and Woodside Suites.
