Things to do in Mariposa

Mariposa is the county seat of Mariposa County, a Gold Rush town in the Sierra Nevada foothills along Highway 140. Its two-story courthouse, built in 1854, is the oldest courthouse in continuous use west of the Rocky Mountains, and the main street still holds 19th-century storefronts, saloons and historic hotels. Today the local economy depends on tourism linked to Yosemite National Park, along with ranching, county government and small businesses serving visitors and residents.
