A charming, down-to-earth mountain town with a rich history, Truckee is known as a welcoming, family-oriented community that attracts adventurous people with a passion for the outdoors and the environment.
Truckee’s picturesque downtown is the heart and soul of this community, with unique restaurants and shops set in authentic historic buildings that date back to the 19th century. But the downtown district is only the beginning of what the area has to offer visitors.

The surrounding Nevada County also offers such attractions as gold panning, Donner Memorial State Park, and museums that showcase local history.
