For history, check out their site: parks.ca.gov/?page_id=501 My husband and I were searching for spots to take pictures with our son. Weve noticed several of my friends who have done their photo-shoot here. Anyways, we decided for fun to come and check out this place. This is a great historical site, perfect place for picnic, bring your kids out and show them how electricity is generated. Youll need to pay $10 parking fee when the spaces are available. And they have a very interesting museum/visitor center.

Had a few hours to kill, and it was a good time visiting an old hydro/electronic powerhouse built in the 1850s. Very industrial machinery, and a work of great engineering for the time. Had some hiking trails in addition to the tour that went down to the river. If you have a an hour or two and want to walk around and see some history, Id recommend this tour.

It was incredible...go to the old powerhouse nearer the roadway. Such history..1st powerhouse of its type..ahead of Niagara Falls! You have got to go in and take a look. The volunteer guides know so much about the history...just ask!

Great place to visit and learn about the areas history of generating electricity. The main powerhouse has an impressive wall of granite, and learning how it was all constructed was very interesting.
