There are several, but a very good one is Columbia State Park in northern Ca. This is a preserved gold rush town. The park offers gold panning, a museum, and shops with people dresses in period. They also have events to highlight the era. Several movies have been filmed there. High Noon used it and so did one of the Back to the Future movie. In the area is also other towns settled in the gold rush. The entire area is worth a visit.
