Come Visit Weaverville, California

"In 1941 a reporter interviewed James Hilton, British author of Lost Horizon. "In all your wanderings," the journalist asked the writer, "what's the closest you've found to a real-life Shangri-La?" Sighing wistfully (one imagines) Hilton responded, "A little town in northern California... a little town called Weaverville."

"Weaverville is a small gem of a town (a veritable Shangri-La) on the National Register of Historic Places. You can easily spend a day here just strolling around, visiting art galleries, museums and other historic structures."

- Lonely Planet, July 2009
