WulfstanTraveller Says: Placerville's old city hall, on Main St. just below the courthouse, was built in 1860. Originally, it was the fire station for the "Confidence" fire company but it was turned into city hall in about 1902. "Confidence" is still emblazoned on the front of the building.
WulfstanTraveller Says: Since Placerville, although no longer the largest town in El Dorado County, is the county seat, the local Superior Court courthouse is here.

Wine tasting at Chateau Rodin.
