Plenty of spots to get food and drinks. We booked this hotel as we were visiting Weaverville for the 'Autumn in the Alps' Quilt Festival and because it is right on Main Street and next to the Band Stand. We were delighted to find it a wonderfully comfortable hotel with modern amenities and authentically historic ambience: antiques in the rooms, old photos, newspaper articles, etc. The room was quiet and the bed was very comfortable; the best we'd slept on all week. The parlour, with its fireplace, was delightful. WiFi was strong throughout the building.

Everyone in Trinity County is pretty much agreed that our number one attraction is our wilderness and our gorgeous scenery. Whether you are an admirer of fall foliage or a chaser or wildflowers, a kayaker or rafter, a fisherman or hunter, a hiker, biker, or a seeker of gold and fortune, a mountain climber or cross country runner, an amateur (or professional) botanist, plein air painter, biologist, or nature photographer, there’s something for you in Trinity County.

In addition to Trinity County's natural beauty, this is a community anchored in its sense of history. Although the California Gold Rush is what most people think of when they visit historic Weaverville, few know about the thousands of Chinese who also lived here and worked their own mines. And going back even further, the history of this area extends to people who lived here long ago –the Yurok, Wintu, and Nor-Rel-Muk, Indians and their ancestors

For those interested in retracing these steps, the Jake Jackson Museum is within a walking distance of the Weaverville Hotel, and gives a great glimpse into the past. The Joss House, which is a Taoist temple built by the Chinese miners, is still in use as a temple, as well as a state park with weekly tours between Thursday and Sunday. 

Weaverville is a town that celebrates and lives out its history, and our calendar is marked with festivities throughout the year. In winter, we celebrate Chinese New Year, an event that includes lion dancers, drummers and firecrackers along Main Street, culminating at the Joss House. The Fall Festival begins October 1st and lasts all month. The Witches’ Brigade lines main street with bikes as witches gather from across the state.

Mountain Magic Christmas begins the day after Thanksgiving each year with Main Street Merchants decorating in the old fashioned style with live Christmas greenery. The town is beautiful to behold, even if it doesn’t snow. Santa comes to the Band Stand in his Big Purple Fire Truck and meets with all the kids about their Christmas lists. And of course, we can’t forget about the 4th of July celebration. Again, the Band Stand takes center stage, with bell-ringing, speeches, and music. There is a real small-town-U.S.A. flavor to our parade. The whole town turns out, vendors set up their booths from Main Street to the meadow next to the Congregational Church, as well as at Lowden Park where there is a rodeo, softball tournament, demolition derby, and more.
