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:

Victorian Christmas. I’m up on the balcony of the National Hotel overlooking Broad Street.
Daytime Victorian Christmas.
Victorian Fun
Nighttime Victorian Christmas. My favorite time to attend!
An average sunny day on Broad Street.
We were a part of the Nevada County Toy Run. Broad Street.

Fall and Halloween are my favorite time of year!

Fall trees by post office.
I love this house! Looks pretty in its Halloween decorations.
Outside Inn. They go all out for Halloween. There’s a whole path to walk behind it.
St. Canice Church in fall time

Deer Creek

The school my kids went to. It was K-2
Hall in National Hotel. Some people have claimed the hotel to have ghostly visitors…
This house makes me smile. It’s right outside of town so it doesn’t have to follow the historical rules…
This is the church they used in the movie “A Christmas Card.” Nevada City Methodist Church
It’s a cute place in town. I believe you can rent it, or used to be able to rent.
Graveyard on the edge of town.
City Hall is in the middle of town.
What a great rock to have in your front yard.
Lots of food and music. A great place to go after swimming in the river.

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
