Rough and Ready Secession Days
Rough and Ready Community Hall, Rough and Ready, CA
Rough and Ready commemorates the three months in 1850 when the Gold Rush mining camp seceded from the United States over a mining tax, forming the short-lived Great Republic of Rough and Ready. The town's volunteer fire department and local chili cooks mark the anniversary each year with a firefighter's breakfast, a chili cook-off, and a melodrama reenactment. It remains one of Nevada County's most distinctive small-town traditions.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
