The California History Section of the California State Library has named Tuolumne County as “county of the month” for May. This award recognizes organizations involved in county-level cultural preservation and outreach, as well as the varied county history resources available to researchers at the State Library.
Formed in 1850, Tuolumne County is home to many historic mining operations, Columbia Historic State Park, and water-ski friendly reservoirs and much more.
The County of the Month program commenced last August in an effort to honor the work of local governments and historical societies in promoting and preserving the past.
