Welcome
The Golden Drift Historical Society serves to preserve the historical heritage of Alta, Dutch Flat, Gold Run and the surrounding area in Placer County, California. We are an entirely volunteer 501(c)3 organization that relies on Membership dues and private donations to operate. The Society provides docents and operates the Golden Drift Museum, part of Placer County Museums Division. We host events at the Museum, including guided tours of the historic town of Dutch Flat and of the historic Dutch Flat cemetery. The Society maintains a library of research material in our Doug Ferrier Memorial Library. By providing annual support to local nonprofits responsible for maintaining historical buildings in the area, the Golden Drift Historical Society is preserving the towns we represent.
