About Grass Valley
Grass Valley's mining history is physically present throughout the city — the Empire Mine State Historic Park, one of the most productive gold mines in California history, preserves the mine shaft, the Bourne Cottage, and surrounding industrial landscape as a historic resource of statewide significance. Aerial photography of the Empire Mine captures the juxtaposition of Victorian estate architecture and industrial mining infrastructure unique to the California Gold Country.
The downtown Mill Street commercial district has been preserved and revitalized as one of the Gold Country's most authentic historic shopping streets — independent bookshops, wine bars, and locally owned restaurants occupy Victorian commercial buildings that photograph beautifully from above. The Holbrooke Hotel, operating since 1851, anchors downtown Grass Valley's historic character.
Real estate in Grass Valley and Nevada County has experienced significant appreciation as Bay Area buyers and Sacramento retirees have discovered the Sierra foothills' combination of four-season climate, cultural amenities, and natural access. Rural acreage properties, equestrian estates, and second homes on forested lots represent a significant aerial photography market.
