Nevada County`s state parks are filled with must see attractions including the ghost town of North Bloomfield in the Malakoff Diggins SHP. Pictured here is the McKillican and Mobley General Store that you can see in North Bloomfield.

As was the case from the 1880s through 1941 nearly all the wares for sale would be present in this way.

Have you visited Malakoff Diggins SHP?
