Amador County
A Hidden Gold Rush Hamlet
Volcano is a tiny, enchanting hamlet tucked into the pine-covered hills of upper Amador County. Once one of the richest Gold Rush towns in California, it now charms visitors with its beautifully preserved historic buildings, the famous Daffodil Hill each spring, and the intimate Volcano Theatre Company. With fewer than 200 residents, Volcano feels like stepping back in time.
