On this episode, find out how the historic town of Julian was founded after the U.S. Civil War, and how it survived the Gold Rush of the late 1800s. We'll tour the town's historic cemetery, gold mine and talk with the grandson of the town's founder Drue Bailey.

After Fred Coleman discovered gold in 1869, many prospectors (pictured) came to Julian to work in the mines.
