Railtown 1897 State Historic Park

Railtown 1897 State Historic Park

Located just six miles from Columbia State Historic Park in Jamestown, Tuolumne County, Railtown 1897 State Historic Park is home to the Historic Jamestown Shops and Roundhouse of the Sierra Railway.

This important historical attraction combines industrial heritage and railroad history with the lore of Hollywood’s film industry.

Steam-train rides are offered weekends April-October and on holiday weekends in November and December. Visitors with dogs are allowed on the grounds and in the open observation cars once used for sightseeing in the Canadian Rockies. Guided tours are available, or you can explore on your own.

Visit the Park website for operating hours as well as park admission and train ride pricing (train ride tickets include admission to the park).

DogTrekkers please bring your own pickup bags and, before riding, make sure your dog is not frightened by the loud sounds made by the trains.
