FIDLETOWN COMMUNITY CENTER

Fiddletown is still the charming, sleepy, little foothill town that has survived from the days of the California Gold Rush.

Fiddletown has seen many changes since those days. When the gold rush was
over, a number of folks stayed and put their energies to other forms of mining,
to farming and to logging. The town flourished until the latter half of the twentieth century. As commerce changed, Fiddletown also changed. Many of the local businesses began to close their doors and the town became a quiet place to live. In some historical journals, Fiddletown is listed as a ghost town. A somewhat misleading title, if you ask us.

When you are in Amador County enjoying the sights of the historic towns on the
Hwy. 49 corridor, be sure and take a side trip to Fiddletown. We are six (6) miles east of the town of Plymouth, and just over the hill from the Shenandoah wine country. If you are not here during the Fiddletown Flea on the second Saturday in June, or the Fiddlers Jam on the third Saturday in September, youll probably think there is no one at home (which will be your chance to commune with those ghosts from the past).

We have Fiddletown walking-tour maps at the Fiddletown Community Center hall.
The maps are located on the porch wall by the telephone. You will find it to be a charming little tour, with no tourist shops, no restaurants and very, very little traffic.
