Recently our little town was voted top ten in the United States by Country Living Magazine. Very exciting! Here’s the link to their article: LINK
I decided to share a bit of our town from photos I’ve taken over the years. You may recognize a few spots if you watched the Hallmark movie, “A Christmas Card.”
Here we are coming into town from the freeway.

Town:






Fall and Halloween are my favorite time of year!





Deer Creek









So there is your tour of the Queen City of the Northern Mines or Nevada City via my cell phone pictures. I stuck mainly to Broad Street but there is much more to explore which I might do in another post.
This is a place that not only inspires writing, but painting, dreams, and movies. Maybe all the inspiration we need is right outside our door.
Embrace your inner child by exploring and reading! D. L. Finn

What a wonderful place to be inspired. Thanks for the pictures of your town.
It is and I needed a reminder, Darlene 🙂
It’s a beautiful town. I love that kaleidoscopic house!
Thanks, Priscilla 🙂 That house is amazing and always captures my attention.
Great photos, Denise. And I recognize the church from Hallmark!
Thanks, Noelle:) It’s a fun movie with some creative touches!
Awww, now I want to visit! Thank you for sharing these wonderful photos! Congratulations to your little city.
It is a great place to visit and live. Thank you, Jan 🙂
It is absolutely charming, Denise! Thank you so much for sharing these beautiful pictures!
Thank you, Joy 🙂 It is a charming little town for sure.
Be careful about publishing these pictures. They will draw a lot of people to your quiet little town!
It’s too late for that, Jacqui. They know about us lol
What a wonderful honor for your town! I checked the top 10 list, and Tamworth, New Hampshire made the list.
It sure is, Liz 🙂 Congrats to Tamworth, too!
How lovely Denise and an amazing accolade for the town. Thank you for sharing the photos and it does look wonderful throughout the seasons.
Thank you, Sally 🙂 It is a pretty special little town. Xo
Beautiful shots, Denise. What a lovely town to be in! Thanks for sharing the link.
Thank you, Balroop 🙂 We are lucky to be here.
Love the photos, Denise! Your town looks like a perfect setting for a Hallmark movie – not surprised they filmed there. I’ll have to ask Hubby if he watched that one – he’s a fan of their movies, lol.
Thanks, Teri 🙂 It is a perfect setting for a Hallmark! I’m a big fan of those movies too, so good thing we ended up here. Xo
Great pictures of your nice town, Denise. Enjoy your living.
Thank you, Timothy 🙂 We do enjoy it here.
My pleasure, Denise. I can understand why you do enjoy it.
What a wonderful place to live. You have every reason to be proud.

Thank you, Sandra 🙂 Glad we found it or it found us!
Congratulations on your town being the top ten! I can see why from your photos. I felt like I was taking a tour through your town, Denise. <3
Thank you, Carol 🙂 It’s a special place to live and visit. Xo
That is certainly a beautiful town and great photos.
Thank you, Thomas 🙂 Ww have been happy here.
Wow, how exciting, Denise! I love all of your photos. I can see why the Methodist Church is in the movie. The road Street looks like a street in the cowboy movie. I’m sure you’ll get a lot more visitors now.
It is, Miriam 🙂 It is a beautiful church, and it was fun seeing all the local stuff in the movie. We do get a lot now for events more than when we moved here.
I love all of your photos, Denise. So charming! And I recognize that church from the movie, one of my faves of Hallmark. No wonder you’re always inspired to write! Beautiful! xo
Thank you, Lauren 🙂 It is a pretty charming town. I agree, a really good movie. Xo
I love this post. Such an inspirational place. Maybe all the inspiration we need is right outside our door. Wonderful thought.
Thanks, Craig 🙂 It is pretty inspiring, and I need to dive more into its history.
What a cool honor for your town, Denise! Learning about the history of one’s new town is fun. I’m glad you enjoyed all of these things. I certainly enjoyed your post. Hugs.
It is an honor for our little town 🙂 Yes, I always love history and this one is rich with it. Hugs back
I would love to visit Nevada City someday and, of course, my buddy who lives there:) S.C ox
I would love that visit too xo
Hi Denise, these are lovely pictures. You live in a wonderful place 💜🪻
Thank you, Robbie:) I’m lucky.
The house outside of the historical district looks like all sorts of fun:)
It really is. They cover things up in bad weather and I don’t think I’ve seen everything they have yet…lol
Wonderful pictures.
Wow, what a wonderful looking and scenic place. That boulder rock is spectacular. Thanks for sharing. <3
Thanks for sharing it, Denise. It is lovely.
I love those old towns in the Gold Rush country! Now that you’re on a “list,” I hope everybody doesn’t decide to move there and spoil it. I’ve seen the hotel featured in several ghost hunter-type documentaries.
