This is the area of the original historic site of old Yankee Hill. It was first founded as a gold mining town: having in later years a hotel, general store, school, Wells Fargo, post office, saloon and a winery.
Yankee Hill was purchased by the Smiths in the 1940's and later destroyed by numerous fires.
