Message from Ryan & Katy Smilko

The Amador Whitney Museum, housed in one of the oldest commercial buildings in Amador City dating back to 1860, is a charming spot that showcases the history and culture of the Mother Lode region. Originally owned by antique dealer Jerrold Whitney and artist Clayton Pinkerton, the museum now offers a peek into the contributions and experiences of women in the area from the past to the present day. Visitors can explore exhibits like an old post office unit, a replica covered wagon, a schoolhouse, and more, giving a glimpse into the rich heritage of this small California town. So, if you're in the area on a Friday, Saturday, or Sunday, swing by for a dose of local history and charm!
