Welcome to Exploring Shasta County history...
With this blog, I am bringing to life the stories of the early day pioneers and some of the oft-forgotten history of a bygone era in Shasta County, California. I'll also focus on important events after the turn of the 20th century. I would like to reflect upon current historical sites of the modern age as well.

Come experience the Old Diggings Railroad Grade with me and my friend Robert Frazier, host of California Unearthed, and learn the history behind this former railroad grade which is located on BLM land, and part of the Hornbeck Trail System in Shasta County, California. You may notice some new features I'm working with in my film editor like music and additional things to come, so this is the first of many to be released with a new look for my YouTube channel as well after recovering from a stroke I had back in January of 2024. It feels good to be back in action and as always, please like, share and comment on the video, best wishes...
