The Auburn Courthouse has been revealed all shiny and new!

Auburn Courthouse

For the last several months, the Auburn Courthouse has been shrouded with scaffolding & drop cloths as a much needed facelift was taking place. Most of the renovation took place in the interior of the building where painting was completed to enhance the architecture, new carpet was laid, and several departments were moved around. If you have never been to the museum in the bottom floor of the courthouse, it is well worth the trip. There are wonderful historical exhibits which share Auburn’s rich history. Added recently is an exhibit of movies filmed in Placer County. Hours are 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday except every second and fourth Wednesday when it is open from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

After touring the Courthouse Museum, you can spend hours touring the Old Town area which is full of interesting gift boutiques, antiques stores, restaurants and a wonderful art gallery featuring local artists. You can easily come and spend a whole day taking in the Old Town sights, walking up and down the streets in quaint Old Town Auburn, popping in and out of interesting stores.
